✨ Signature Highlights
🐢 The Nesting Experience
Kalipur is one of the few places in the world where four species of sea turtles (Olive Ridley, Leatherback, Hawksbill, and Green Turtles) come to nest. You can watch the Forest Department staff carefully monitor the sites, and if you are lucky, participate in the safe release of baby hatchlings into the ocean.
Recommended Stay
Staying at Pristine Beach Resort or Turtle Resort is highly recommended, as they are just meters away from the nesting action.
