hukittolaa dbiip | Hukitola Island - Tourist attraction in Jambu Dweep, Hukitola - Kendrapara, India

Nice place. Good for one time visit. 1.5 hr boat journey.

It is a small island hill amidst the river mouths and backwaters of Bay of Bengal. The aquatic scenery is fantastic and incomparable. Fantastic boating experience. The mangrove forests alongside the rivers and hill sides are fantastic. Rich of biodiversity. Amazing historical building. Above all a best place for recreation. A little bit risky boating.

Nice location to visit in group, have food, fun and enjoy.

If you can want to see a historical place then you can visit it
