Chandaka Elephant Sanctuary is a wildlife reserve located in the north western fringe of Bhubaneswar in the Indian state of Odisha.
Nestled on Khurda uplands of the Eastern Ghats biotic region, Chandaka forest is spread over 175.79 square kilometres (67.87 sq mi) of rolling table land and small sprawling hillocks of Khurda and Cuttack Districts. It was designated as an elephant reserve in December 1982.
What to Watch at Chandaka Elephant Sanctuary?
For visitors there are a number of watchtowers to observe wildlife. While Kochilaberana, Pitagadia and Charichhak watch towers are excellent for observation of birds and animals, the ones at Kumarkhunti and Ambilo have the comfort of rest houses where one can make a night halt.
There are two water reservoirs, Deras Dam and Jhumka Dam, situated within the reserve.
The cottages near Deras provide a scenic view of the Chandaka reserve and a chance to see wildlife.
