If you are a bird and nature lover place is worth visiting. 90 kms from Nellore a hour and half drive by car. November appears to be the best time to visit as a variety of birds nest here. They however fly to Pulicat bird sanctuary to feed where one can see flamingoes as well and enjoy a boat ride in the lake. Hire a cab or drive your car. Opens at 8 am and closes at 5 pm.
Nellapattu Bird Sanctuary is a lovely place for birding in Feb, lots of Pelicans and Openbills breeding season with their chicks just grown up during this time,once you get out of Chennai it's a wonderful road to Nellapattu Sanctuary.
If you are a bird lover only you visit nellapatu bird sanctuary.
For all tourists, I would suggest to get a rented or own vehicle to santuary for to and fro journey to santuary. I took a bus from Nellore to sullurpeta..and asked driver to stop at nellapattu and walked around 1.5 km from highway to santuary. It's really exhausting. One should walk alot to have a good view of birds. Birds were there but not worthy of so much effort for not so bird loving person.
Facilities:
There are no hotels nearby, get your food packed and have ample of energy to walk around.
Washrooms are available.
You will have small playground sort of thing and birds to watch.
Ps: This review is mainly for tourist. As I drained my complete energy visiting nellapatu for nothing.
Lot of birds than Pulicat Sanctuary. It's better to go here and enjoy the view. Make sure you are well equipped with cameras and lenses.
