Recently, it is connected to the mainland on the Northern side by a small bridge over a rivulet. Getting to the island is quick and easy, since it is readily accessible by short ferry crossings at two points on the island. The sun kissed and picturesque island of Chorao is encircled by rivers and has abundant mangroves along the banks. It is home to the famous Dr. Salim Ali’s bird sanctuary and has unique nature trails and wetland ponds featuring an array of bird life. It is a verdant paradise for nature lovers. This beautiful, scenic and unspoiled island is a gateway to the ultimate escape, far away from the maddening crowds.
