How to Visit:<br />
<br />
First you need to reach to Bhubaneshwar, capital of Odisha. From Bhubaneshwar, you can get a bus direct to Jambu(frequency is very less) or you can hire a cab. Jambu is around 121km from Bhubaneshwar. Once you reached Jambu, you need to hire a boat which will float through a mangroves forest and then you will be in sea and reach to Hukitola.<br />
