Status: Listed with current timings on the official Odisha Tourism site (checked 29 Oct 2026).

Community-run wetland on the north edge of Chilika where former poachers guide birding boats among winter migrants.

Mangalajodi was once known for bird hunting; former hunters now protect the marsh and guide visitors in quiet country boats through the reed channels, with close views of migratory ducks, waders and raptors. Tangi is the nearest station.
