The lapping waters of lake Chilika offer excellent boating opportunities not just to cruise around the lake, but to investigate the islands, each of which has its individual charms. You can persuade the local boatmen to take you out in their unique wooden boats. The Satkosia gorge is one of the most enchanting places in the world and a boat ride is the perfect way of enjoying this enchantment. The sea and surf at Gopalpur-on-Sea are ideal for surfing and sailing in the Blue Bay back-waters.
