Chilika Dolphin Point usually refers to the Satapada side of Chilika Lake, where visitors take boat rides to spot Irrawaddy dolphins in their natural habitat. It is around 50 km from Puri and is commonly visited as a half-day nature trip. Dolphin sightings are not guaranteed because these are wild animals, so visitors should treat the experience as a lake and nature trip, not only a guaranteed dolphin show.
