geo.wikisort.org - Island

Hukitola Bay and Hukitola Island are located in Odisha, India, north of the Mahanadi river delta.[1] The island was formed from silt deposits.[2] There is a building on the island, which was constructed by British colonists circa 1867 to serve as a rice storehouse.[3] The building has a total plinth area of more than 7,000 square feet, which carries proof of British architectural skill with rainwater harvesting systems.[4]

In late 2013, the building began to be renovated by the State Archaeological Department, with the goal of making it into an eco-tourist spot.[5]

How to Visit:

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.
