CHANDAKA ELEPHANT RESERVE
Location : Orissa
Main Attractions : Elephants, Chital, Bear, Pea-Fowl & Sambar

Only one of its kinds, the dense and fascinating Chandaka forest is perfect
place for eco-tourism activities. As the elephants generally venture out at
night, a long evening within the reserve, on one of the watch towers built by
the Forest Department close to the water-holes, is a thrilling experience and
one gets the feeling that one is millions of miles away from civilization.

These majestic animals have made the Chandaka Forest their home, and can be
seen quite frequently. They are however completely wild, and on occasion become
dangerous too.

Apart from the fabulous elephants, chital, bear, pea-fowl, sambar and numerous
other animals roam about doing their daily business unhampered. The Forest
officials have also spotted pugmarks of cheetahs within the forest.
