Chilika Lake & Satapada from Puri
Dolphins and birds at Asia's largest lagoon, a day trip from Puri
Chilika is Asia's largest brackish-water lagoon and a haven for Irrawaddy dolphins and, in winter, vast flocks of migratory birds. The Satapada gateway is an easy day trip from Puri.
Getting there
Satapada is about 50 km from Puri, roughly 1.5 hours by road. From there, boat rides take you onto the lagoon.
What to see
- Irrawaddy dolphins near the sea mouth
- Migratory birds in winter (best November–February)
- Sea-mouth where the lagoon meets the Bay of Bengal
Tips
Start early for calm waters and the best dolphin sightings; carry water and a hat.
