Chandaka
elephant reserve is located in the Bhubaneshwar. It is only one of its
kind in India. The residents of the reserve are elephants, sambar,
bears, wild dogs, pea fowls and pythons.
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.
FaunaApart
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.
