Kuldiha Wildlife Sanctuary is situated in Balasore district of Odisha, India. The sanctuary is spread across 272.75 km2 (105 sq mi) in the Chota Nagpur Plateau region. It is linked with Simlipal National Park via Sukhupada and Nato hill ranges. It is classified as an Eastern Highlands moist deciduous forests eco region.
It was declared a sanctuary on 4 January 1984. It is famous for the Mayurbhanj Elephant Reserve that spreads across Simlipal, Kuldiha and Hadgarh wildlife reserves. Locally in Kuldiha, the elephant reserve is known as Tenda Elephant Reserve.[6][7] There is a watch tower strategically created at Garsimulia for animal lovers to have a look at elephants taking bath or drinking water from a small stream that runs right through the reserve.[8] The sanctuary offers night stay accommodation at Kuldiha entrance, Jadachua and Rishia in form of huts, tents and few concrete houses. Prior reservation is required for night stay.[9] It is usually closed during peak monsoon season which typically falls between July and September months. Major fire was reported in 2012 that engulfed both Simlipal and Kuldiha forests causing significant damage to flora and fauna. The sanctuary has been declared an ecological sensitive zone as of August 2, 2013 by the government.
Odisha 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/tribesmen inhabiting the core area of sanctuary.
The sanctuary is almost equidistant from Bhubaneswar and Kolkata cities. It is easier to reach the place 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 scenic narrow road leads to the sanctuary entrance.

Hello Everyone!

Panchalingeshwar is in Balasore district of Odisha. The Panchalingeshwar temple is named after the five Shivalinga that are enshrined inside. We went to this place from Kolkata by train. Among the sightseeing, we went to Devkund which is part of the Simlipal National Park. The flowing water from an adjacent waterfall has created a pond. After that in our second day, we went to Kuldiha Wildlife Sanctuary which is linked with Simlipal National Park. It's a very dense forest and home to many wild animals like elephants, barking deer’s, wild boars, bison and leopards besides hundreds of birds and other esoteric flora and fauna.

Indian giant squirrel// Kuldiha Wildlife Sanctuary (Balasore)//Odisha
Description
R. indica has a conspicuous two-toned (and sometimes three-toned) color scheme.[4] The colors involved can be creamy-beige, buff, tan, rust, brown, or even a dark seal brown.[5] The underparts and the front legs are usually cream colored, the head can be brown or beige, however there is a distinctive white spot between the ears.[4] Adult head and body length varies around 14 inches (36 cm) and the tail length is approximately 2 ft (0.61 m). Adult weight - 2 kg (4.41 lb).[6]
Behavior
Malabar giant squirrels feeding on a ripe jackfruit
The Indian giant squirrel is an upper-canopy dwelling species, which rarely leaves the trees, and requires tall profusely branched trees for the construction of nests.[3] It travels from tree to tree with jumps of up to 6 m (20 ft). When in danger, the Ratufa indica often freezes or flattens itself against the tree trunk, instead of fleeing.[4] Its main predators are the birds of prey and the leopard.[4] The Giant Squirrel is mostly active in the early hours of the morning and in the evening, resting in the midday. They are typically solitary animals that only come together for breeding. The species is believed to play a substantial role in shaping the ecosystem of its habitat by engaging in seed dispersal.[7] Diet includes fruit, flowers, nuts and tree bark. Some subspecies are omnivorous, also eating insects and bird eggs.[8]
Distribution
The species is endemic to deciduous, mixed deciduous, and moist evergreen forests of peninsular India, reaching as far north as the Satpura hill range of Madhya Pradesh (approx. 22° N).[3]
Subspecies
Ratufa indicus dealbatus (top) and Ratufa indicus typicus (bottom)
The number of sub species of the Ratufa indica lineage is generally acknowledged as four[2][9] or five.[10][11]
R. i. indica Erxleben, 1777[12]
R. i. centralis Ryley, 1913[13]
R. i. maxima Schreber, 1784[14]
R. i. superans Ryley, 1913[13]
R. i. bengalensis Blanford, 1897
The rust and buff Ratufa indica centralis (Ryley, 1913) of the tropical dry deciduous forests of Central India, near Hoshangabad.[5] The buff and tan Ratufa indica dealbata (Figure 1, top) of the tropical moist deciduous forests of the Surat Dangs. The seal brown, tan, and beige (and darkest) Ratufa indica maxima (Schreber, 1784) (Figure 2, bottom) of the tropical wet evergreen forest of Malabar. The dark brown, tan and beige (and largest), Ratufa indica bengalensis (Blanford, 1897) (Figure 2, top) of the tropical semi-evergreen forests east of the Brahmagiri mountains in Kodagu extending up to the Bay of Bengal coast of Orissa. It is also seen (dark brown) on Tirumala hills at Tirupati and in the Nagarhole National Park and Bandipur National Park that run alongside the Kabini River.
The table below lists the four recognized subspecies (based on Thorington & Hoffmann 2005) of Ratufa indica, along with any synonyms associated with each subspecies:[2]
Ratufa indica taxonomy
Subspecies Authority Synonyms
R. i. indica Erxleben (1777) bombaya, elphinstoni, purpureus, superans
R. i. centralis Ryley (1913) none
R. i. dealbata Blanford (1897) none
R. i. maxima Schreber (1784) bengalensis, malabarica
Family life
The Indian Giant Squirrel lives alone or in pairs. They build large globular nests of twigs and leaves, placing them on thinner branches where large predators can't get to them. These nests become conspicuous in deciduous forests during the dry season. An individual may build several nests in a small area of forest which are used as sleeping quarters, with one being used as a nursery.[citation needed]
Reproduction
Captive breeding of the Malayan giant squirrel, a close relative has indicated births in March, April, September and December. The young weigh 74.5 g at birth and have a length of 27.3 cm. In Canara, the Indian Giant Squirrel has been spotted with young in March.[citation needed]

Kuldiha Wildlife Sanctuary Tour..#tentcamping#scarynight#bestexperience
Odisha is home to many wildlife sanctuaries that most people are not aware of. Kuldiha wildlife sanctuary is one of them. It is nestled within the dense forest home to many wild animals like elephants, spotted and barking deer’s, wild boars, bisons and leopards besides hundreds of birds and other esoteric flora and fauna. The Risia ecocamp promoted by the Odisha forest department was a pleasant surprise. There are nine furnished tents with solar powered lighting’s and provision for food by local cooks. The beauty of this place lies in the fact that it is deep inside the forest and completely cutoff from the mainland. The environment is absolutely quiet and at night one can hear the sounds of wild animals. Because of the isolation it may feel a bit eerie but for the person with a spirit of adventure it is a great place to visit. Unfortunately the occupancy rate is low and sporadic. The best time to visit is from November to March. There is no mobile connectivity and therefore one may feel isolated, lonely and lost. But I feel, that is what wildlife experience is all about.
