Kuldiha Wildlife Sanctuary, Odisha, India

Kuldiha Wildlife Sanctuary
For nature lovers and bird watchers, Kuldiha is the perfect getaway.

Located in Balasore in Odisha, Kuldiha Wildlife Sanctuary is around 170 km from Kolkata. The nearest rail head Balasore, is at a distance of 30 km from Kuldiha. You may opt to go by train or road.

Kuldiha Wildlife sanctuary is home to a variety of birds. One of the best seasons to travel is summer. Kuldiha has a good population of elephants as well, and is a part of the Mayurbhanj Elephant Reserve.

I am sharing pictures from Kuldiha taken by my cousin, Soma Jha, who was in Kuldiha recently.
