Irrawaddy Dolphins - species of dolphins closer to killer whale can be found in Chilka Lakes. Sightings are rare - you can take a boat ride from Balugaon Ghat.

Balugaon Ghat (1 km) - Take a boat ride to Nalabana Island in Chilka Lake. Island remains submerged during monsoons. Great view of migratory birds at other time.
