Pro Tips

Ensure your vehicle has high ground clearance if driving the Marine Drive from Konark to Puri, as sand drifts often narrow the road lanes.

Avoid using any artificial lights (including phones) if walking near Olive Ridley nesting sites at night to prevent disturbing the hatchlings.

Sync your Chandipur visit with a tide-tracking app; the sea recedes exactly twice a day, and wandering too far out without knowing the return time is risky.

Carry dry snacks and water when visiting Astaranga, as it remains a largely non-commercial fishing outpost with zero cafe infrastructure.

Be cautious of muddy water reducing visibility and current strength.

Visit during early morning or late evening to avoid intense sun exposure.
