The Kuldiha Wildlife Sanctuary ({{lang-or|କୁଲଡିହା ବନ୍ୟଜନ୍ତୁ ସଂରକ୍ଷଣାଳୟ}}) is situated in the Balasore district of Odisha, India. The sanctuary is spread across {{convert|272.75|km2|sqmi|0|abbr=on}} in the Chota Nagpur Plateau region. It is linked with Simlipal National Park via the Sukhupada and Nato hill ranges. It is classified as an Eastern Highlands moist deciduous forests ecoregion.

About

It was declared a sanctuary on {{date|4 Jan 1984}}.[2] It is famous for the Mayurbhanj Elephant Reserve that spreads across Simlipal, Kuldiha and Hadgarh wildlife reserves.[3] Locally in Kuldiha, the elephant reserve is known as Tenda Elephant Reserve.[4][5] There is a watch tower strategically created at Garsimulia for animal lovers to have a look at elephants bathing or drinking water from a small stream that runs right through the reserve.[6] The sanctuary offers night stay accommodation at Kuldiha entrance, Jadachua and Rishia in form of huts, tents and a few concrete houses. Prior reservation is required for night stay.[7] It is usually closed during the peak monsoon season which typically falls between July and September.[1] Major fire was reported in 2012 that engulfed both Simlipal and Kuldiha forests causing significant damage to flora and fauna.[7] The sanctuary has been declared an ecological sensitive zone as of {{Start date|2013|8|2}} by the government.[8]

Tourism

Kuldiha is an integral part of tourism in northern Odisha, attracting tourists and scholars alike.

Ecotourism

Odisha’s government took recognition of the environmental damage being done by private operators to many parks, sanctuaries and reserves resulting in a sustainable threat to biodiversity. It came up with an ecotourism focus to conserve the pristine state of nature while making it economically viable with a PPP model. Kuldiha sanctuary is operated in a community based ecotourism model that benefits locals and tribesmen inhabiting the core area of the sanctuary.[9][10][11][12]

How to reach

The sanctuary is almost equidistant from Bhubaneswar and Kolkata. It is easier to reach from Bhubaneswar, being the capital city of Odisha state. The nearest airport is Biju Patnaik International Airport. The nearest railway station is Balasore railway station. One can take NH16 (earlier designated NH5) and reach Nilagiri via State Highway 19; thereafter a scenic narrow road leads to the sanctuary entrance.

Flora and fauna

It is a mixed deciduous forest dominated by the Sal tree. Various animals inhabit the forest, including Tiger, Leopard, Elephant, Gaur, Sambar, Giant Squirrel, Hill Myna, Peafowl, Hornbills, other migratory birds and reptiles .[13][14][15] A comprehensive scientific report on the animal species present in the park is available in this survey:{{ISSN|2449-8866}}.[16] The sanctuary is a haven for environmental and animal research. There are numerous scientific surveys and reports available that focus on the study of flora and fauna of the sanctuary.[17][18][19]
