Not so great place to spend your weekend. There are no more birds left in the sanctuary. You can find birds outside the sanctuary. Only good thing I found here is boating.

Went there with no expectations and still was irritated. It’s okay to roam around, but without any sight of animals, I felt disappointed. Even boating was halted, don’t know the reason why. Food is available (didn’t try, so cannot comment). My personal opinion is not to visit in the summer, you will be dehydrated within minutes. Almost 4km walk inside. Visit at your convenience, definitely not a must visit in my opinion.

Awesome experience and greenery. But you can not any wildlife there except the fact that it is a wild sanctuary. You hardly find monkeys. It is worthy to take a drive to backwaters by a ferry and find the Hope Island.

Its interesting. The mangroves are great fun to walk around in on the wooden bridge.The positive here is that they have BINS.The negative here is that people seem to have very bad aim.If there are a few hours in the day that need killing, this seems as good a place as any.Thing to keep in mind is the wood bridge is a tad precarious at times and the monkeys can get agressive.

Lands that allow you to walk through the forest looking at Flora and Fauna. Coringa Wildlife Sanctuary is famous and well-known for its saltwater crocodiles and various salt-tolerant species of flora like Avincinia, Rhizophora and many more. The region also sees heavy growth of herbs and shrubs.

The place is good, but it was not maintained that well. Cameras are allowed but with a little extra fee. Boating and some other places are under maintenance when I visited the place. Make sure to contact them before your visit, so that you can make sure that everything is working well.We have taken some good pictures of Kingfisher (common blue).

Its a really diffrent experience the other wildlife safaris as you can con cover most part on foot on a wooden way which is made up on high-low tide area between the mangrove.Best place for nature and peace lovers.Dont forget to bring the camera especially bird watchers.The wooden trail ends at the boating area where you can take a ride to the river.You can see fiddler crabs here too which have one large claw then other.Just one thing, apply mosquito repellent before coming here.

Review №27

It is the second largest stretch of mangrove forests in India. You need to take an entry ticket and parking facility is also there. You can find a restaurant made up of wood. Washrooms for ladies are there.Mangrove forests are some what warm and humid. So better dont visit this place on a sunny day as you may get excessive sweating which would probably lead you to get dehydration.A very good place for children and wildlife lovers. You can see number of birds, snails, fishes and some other creatures like fishing cats & smooth-coated otters but rarely.Boating was used to be there but they stopped boating recently. Hope they would start it again.Use of plastic bags is strictly prohibited here. You will have to deposit money for every polythene bag you carry and the amount will be refunded when you go out with those bags. So, be aware of it.

Timely opening. I went exactly at 9 and with me came in the office staff. Place is a heaven for couples. Although family with kids also can enjoy the wilderness. It has few snack bars and cool drink shops. Boating and childrens park is available. Board walk is one of a kind experience. U will feel like you are in some Hollywood horror movie. Its truly awesome for one day picnic destination.

Nature’s lap located at 30 minutes drive from Kakinada.It is filled with greenery on all the sides and is located along the coast.You can visit similar places anywhere. only thing that differs is that, You can see the scenic nature around while travelling on the wooden walk path.The place is equipped with boating facility, Visiting tower, wooden bridges.

Govt developed this place a lot but no proper drinking water facility and only one toilet in the whole sanctuary. Carry drinking water in your own waterbottle.The best thing about this place is various birds, butterflies and very colourful crabs can be found all over the swamp. Main attraction of this place is a boat ride which can be personally booked for a group or you can take a speed boat ride through the mangrove forest to the sea. Many otters can also be found in the river.

There were literally NO birds/animals at all during our visit. Oh wait, we saw MONKEY atleast.They made everyone wait for almost an hour to purchase tickets for boat ride. No proper maintenance, not much staff to guide us. We are so disappointed, pretty much frustated and left the sanctuary. Those who wanted to see NATURE alone, can enjoy this place.

Its nice place to visit near Kakinada. Though we faced trouble to find this place because Google maps took us another village and local people didnt know this place with its name.

One of the Largest bird sanctuary in India, its in the banks of River Godavari, scenic spots, variety of birds, nature is excellent. Here Godavari merges in the Sea. It will take 2 to 3 hours to visit the sanctuary. Taken the slow boat to enjoy the ride. Closes at evening 5pm. Nature walk is very good. Small play area for children. Facilities can be improved. Near to highway and transportation is also available from Kakinada or Amalapuram. Enjoyed the place.

Excellent place. Must visit when you are in Kakinada. Mangroves are really beautiful. Calm and Peaceful location. You can go for Boating as well. Ropeway, children parks are available. A small stall for Food and beverages are available inside. Best place for couples to spend some time. Park is neatly maintained, no plastic are allowed inside.I didnt find much animals inside, except some birds, reptiles, butterflies. Snails 🐌 where found in abundance.Beautification of the park is under progress so it will more attractive by the time you visit the place.

Its a good place to visit. It has been a hotspot for filmmakers. Photoshoot spot. The place is peaceful. Visited twice Everytime it was less crowd. Go during a non cloudy day. So that you could go for a boat ride. It is a must. Of course thats the only thing you could do there other than walking. The bird view point was good. All you could see are trees around you.

The coringa wildlife sanctuary is Indias 2nd biggest Mangroves forest. We had our guide Sandeep and with him the exploration was really great. Entry for locals is 20 INR for for foreigners 250 INR. Plastic is banned and you are not allowed to bring your own food. In the park there is a boat service, too. On our date boat service was cancelled because of weather.

Paradise for Green lovers... but there is no wild life as the name suggests. Do not take the ferry, instead take the speed boat. Youll enjoy the ride to the core.Do not go for THIS location from farther distances. Instead if you happen to be in Kakinada or Yanam and you have couple of hours to spend, then you may go there.

We have been to this place in December 2020. You get to walk on the wooden walk-ways constructed amidst the mangroves. Its a different experience to walk amidst the silent place. During our visit, the boat ride was not operational, probably due to which I didnt find this place very exciting apart from the quiet walk. If the boat ride is operational, you can go to the other side to visit the fishing cat view point; if you are lucky, you may spot one too. Another attraction very nearby this place is Hope island; do check that out too.

The Coringa wildlife Sanctuary is the second largest mangrove forest in India. This is 18kms from Kakinada port which is close to 350kms from Hyderabad. You will get trains from the Hyderabad city easily which goes to Kakinada directly. There are not enough wildlife to see for a commoner. Also the boating in the delta region is closed now due to safety reasons.

Went there twice. In 2017 enjoyed the walk amongst the mangroves and thick vegetation and also enjoyed the boating. The mangroves are different from the regular parks. U dont walk on the mud. Instead. A wooden ramp is built on which u can walk and look at the trees and muddy ground. It is very thick so not much animals to see. Second time I went in 2019 December, a Tuesday which happens to be a holiday. So returned without entering.

Coringa Wildlife Sanctuary has the Asias second longest Boardwalk with 2.295 kms which is made of the locally available wood named Anogeissus and without cutting a single tree.Coringa Wildlife Sanctuary is the second largest stretch of mangrove forests after the Sunderbans in west bengal, with 24 mangrove tree species, flaunting a unique ecosystem, flora and fauna, rare mangrove species, as also otter, fishing cat, sea turtles etc.Boating is a way to see Coringa Wildlife Sanctuary at its best-with the birds and animals. Tourists can take the boat journey from boarding point to the mouth of the sea or can opt for Mangrove creep ride.Timmings - 9.00 AM to 5.00 PM(Entrance will be closed at 4.15 PM)(Boating Tickets will be closed at 4.30 P.M)Tuesday is HolidayWhen to Visit - October to June is best time, but can be visited any time to Reconnect with Nature.Board Walk, Boat Rides, Jungle Safari, Bird Watching, Kids Play Zone are some of the activities tourists can engage here.Where to Stay - The nearest town from Coringa is Kakinada having the best Hotels available at acceptable pricing. Coringa Wildlife Sanctuary, Andhra Pradesh provides Accommodation near Coringa.AP Tourism also has Haritha Beach Resorts, near Kakinada is an ideal retreat for tourists who intend to explore East Godavari. The beach resorts is a boon that offers tourists visiting Kakinada beach a perfect place for quality accommodation, food as well as boating facilities at the resorts doorstep which makes it a trip to remember.Note: Visitors are requested not to carry any Plastic Bags or Plastic Bottles at Coringa as they pollute the environment.Visitors should come prepared with full protection from Mosquitos while walking on Board as the place has plenty of mosquitos.
