Bhitarkanika Wildlife Escape — 2 Day Tour

Bhitarkanika mangroves — 2 Days / 1 Night, fixed all-inclusive fare from ₹7,999.

Mangrove & crocodile boat safariMigratory bird watchingComfortable SUV / Innova for the routeJetty drop with flexible timing

Bhitarkanika National Park is Odisha's mangrove wilderness — India's second-largest mangrove ecosystem, home to saltwater crocodiles, migratory birds and a genuinely remote, boat-only landscape reached via a quiet coastal drive from Bhubaneswar.

Why plan this as 2 days, not 1

The drive alone is close to 4 hours each way, and the best wildlife viewing — both the crocodile safari and the bird watching — happens in the calm of early morning. An overnight near the park lets you catch that morning window instead of arriving mid-day when animals are less active.

Pair this with a Chilika detour on the way back — see our Chilika Lake guide — or ask us about combining it with Paradeep for a longer coastal trip.

Package FAQ

Bhitarkanika Wildlife Escape — 2 Day Tour — questions

Itinerary, inclusions and booking.

What's the best time of year to visit Bhitarkanika?

Winter (November to February) is best — it’s the migratory bird season and also when saltwater crocodiles are most active and visible from the boat safari.

Do you arrange the boat safari and permits?

The boat safari and forest entry permits are booked locally at the park’s jetty and aren’t included in the cab fare — your driver can guide you to the right counter on arrival.

Is Bhitarkanika far from Bhubaneswar?

It’s roughly a 3.5–4 hour drive one-way via Chandbali, which is why this is planned as a 2-day trip with an overnight near the park rather than a single long day.
