Experience Odisha’s unique coast and forest landscapes on the 3N/4D Chandipur & Kuldiha Tour. From the vanishing sea and marine life of Chandipur to the tranquil Budhabalanga confluence at Balaramgadi, then onward to wildlife-rich Kuldiha Sanctuary, this itinerary blends seaside discovery with wilderness safaris. The 3N/4D Chandipur & Kuldiha Tour promises memorable sunsets, rich birdlife and close encounters with nature.
Arrive in Balasore and meet our tour representative at the railway station. Transfer to Chandipur, about 16 km and roughly 30 to 40 minutes by road. Check in at your hotel or the OTDC Panthanivas near the beachfront. The day follows the tide chart rather than the clock: at low tide, walk out onto the exposed seabed, where the sea recedes as much as 5 km, revealing horseshoe crabs, starfish, red crabs and shells across the wet sand. Return to the shoreline well before the tide turns and comes back in. Spend the evening on the casuarina-lined beachfront. Overnight stay in Chandipur.
After breakfast, drive the short distance to Balaramgadi, the fishing harbour where the Budhabalanga river meets the sea, to watch the morning catch come in and, tide permitting, take a short fishermen’s boat toward the river mouth. The confluence is a quiet, scenic spot. Return to Chandipur for the day’s low tide and a second, unhurried walk on the seabed — light and marine life differ morning to evening. Watch the sunset over the flats before dinner. Overnight stay in Chandipur.
After breakfast, check out and transfer inland to Kuldiha Wildlife Sanctuary, roughly 60 km and around 1.5 to 2 hours by road through the Nilagiri reserved-forest belt. Stop at the forest range office or the Balianal check gate to arrange the day entry permit before proceeding to your accommodation. After settling in, head out for the afternoon safari, roughly 4:00 pm to 6:30 pm, moving along the tracks through dense Sal and mixed deciduous forest as the light drops. Kuldiha is one of the few sanctuaries in India where visitors travel through the forest in their own vehicle with a forest guide. Overnight stay in Kuldiha.
Start early with the morning safari, roughly 5:00 am to 7:00 am, the better window for movement near the water bodies and salt-lick points where herbivores and, on lucky mornings, elephants gather. Return for breakfast, then check out and transfer to Balasore, around 30 km and roughly an hour by road, in time for your onward train. Overnight journey onward.
