Chandaka Jungle is just 15 kms from Bhubaneswar. Edit

Detail InformationEdit

Chandaka jungle has no similarities with the other jungles of the state. So near to the capital city of Orissa and yet seems to be so far away from civilization. Deras is an entry point to the vast stretch of bamboo forest. You have to walk on top of the DAM to get an entry into the EASTERN side of Chandaka jungle. Well the entry isnt that smooth, Manage to enter through the narrow passage and the jungle is all yours. you have to be on a two wheeler at the mercy of the wild animals around to reach the first checkpoint (forest officers) where you may get warded of. More on the various watch tower juxtaposed to the ponds where elephants flock in the evening. A sight of natural beauty.
