Love Mangalajodi

Bird watchers and photographers love Mangalajodi.

Mangaljodi, a village in Khordha district, near BHUVANESHWAR, Odisha hosts more than 150000 birds on fresh water zone of Chilka Lake especially in winters. It is a paradise of birds that migrates from far-away places of the world.

It is also a paradise for bird watchers and photo lovers. Best time to visit is December to February. Some days blossom with Sun and some greet you with mist.

Yet you will never return without taking a good picture.

 

We stayed at Godwit Eco Cottage, Mangalajodi, Odisha organized by Federation of Indian Photography. We were participants of fourth batch FIP workshop in five batches from middle of January to middle of Feb. 2023.

Mr.Santhosh Jana of Kolkota, coordinator, guided and helped us in every aspect of stay, food, transport and boating arrangements etc.

Guides and boatmen were keen to extend their experience that helped us to return with good shots of the birds.

Interestingly the fact is that an NGO is responsible to convert all the poachers of those days to boat men and guides.

We enjoyed our eco stay.

Why not you?
