A Comprehensive Guide for Tourist & Nature Enthusiast

A Film by Forest & Wildlife Department of Odisha for showcasing the treasure troves of Odisha for Nature & Wildlife Enthusiasts, Backpackers and Globetrotters.

Odisha has about one-third of its land covered with forests, supporting around 86 species of Mammals, 473 species of birds, 110 species of Mangrove plants and 350 species of medicinal plants. The rich biodiversity of the state is conserved mainly through a network of Protected Areas comprising two National Parks and 18 sanctuaries. This network is complemented by wilderness areas, wetlands and other bio-diverse sites along the coast, including mangroves and turtle rookeries. Elephants, tigers, leopards, blackbucks, crocodiles, Olive Ridley turtles, Irrawady dolphins and migratory birds together make for a sumptuous visual feast for those who revel in Nature. The best incentive for the Nature-minded tourist is the unique opportunities that the state offers in eco tourism.
