[edit] Nandankanan

Picturesquely carved out of the Chandaka forest, Nandankanan is a Biological Park where animals are kept in their natural habitat. A centrally located lake divides the Zoo from the Botanical Gardens. Tigers, Lions, Clouded Leopards, Black Panthers, European Brown Bear, Himalayan Black Bear, Gharials, Rosy Pelican, Grey Pelican, Indian Python, King Cobra, etc. are among the attractions of the zoo, which is famous for its White Tigers. The exotic Botanical Garden on the other side of the zoo preserves varieties of indigenous plants. The rope-way connecting the Zoo with Botanical Garden over the lake, the boating facilities and the toy-train for children have added new features. The White Tiger Safari and Lion Safari offers an adventures zing to the trip to Nandankanan.

Regular bus services are available from Bhubaneswar (20 km) to reach the place.
