About this place
The Brahmani River and its tributary creeks create the primary navigation routes through Bhitarkanika mangroves. Motorboat safaris follow these meandering waterways, providing close viewing opportunities of crocodiles, monitor lizards, and waterbirds. The creek ecosystem demonstrates the interconnection of river, mangrove, and estuarine zones.
