Turtle Sanctuary
|
|
Location : Near
Bhitar Kanika Sanctuary, Orissa
Main Attraction : Giant Olive Ridley Turtles
 Close
to the Bhitar Kanika Sanctuary is another of Orissa's special
sanctuaries - the Gahirmatha Turtle Sanctuary. This stretch of beach is
the breeding ground for the giant Olive Ridley Turtles, who travel all
the way from the Pacific Ocean to mate and lay their eggs here.
Every year, thousands of these wondrous creatures can be seen here. In
order to protect the turtles, special arrangements have been made by the
Government of Orissa.
