"Pelican paradise" as the name suggests its breeding spot for spot billed peliecans, a migratory bird from siberia , Phillipines etc. Its in the belt of central Asian fly past. There are also some migratory birds like painted storks, cranes etc.. these are also one of the major type of avian species which are prominent in this area.

I was not able to visit Kolleru lake or Atapaka bird sanctuary despite staying in Vijayawada in 2011-12 & Kakinada afterwards. Only in Jan 2018 had met retired DFO Mr Balasubramaniam who was incharge of this sanctuary for many years! God sent blessings, he had planned to visit Kolleru & Atapaka, we had started in his new car & visited Kolleru lake with help of forest officials. Next Atapaka pelican sanctuary. Nice place with lot of birds, mostly painted storks & pelicans. Mr Balasubramaniam was an expert on birds & had his own camera. I had my own binocular. We had travelled in the ⛵ (The boat driver was very happy to see his old boss, in fact Mr Balasubramaniam had given him the job) twice free of cost & the driver had even recognised many birds & shown us rare white pelicans (just 2 out of thousands of spot billed pelicans). Same day we had returned Kakinada. Very good spot for bird lovers, winter months are good to visit.

Nice boating with scenic view. Had good time bird watching with kids. Hospitable staff n clean environment.

Very good holiday spot for family, friends and also for children's. September to January is the best time to visit. Boating also available here

Very beautiful. You can see migratory birds from Siberia here between Oct and March. If you visit this place in the evening, you can also view sunset behind coconut trees. This is open between 09:00 am and 05:30 pm

Good place to spend some quality of time with family and kids viewing birds. Boating is also available to view the bird nests closer. Pleasant climate. Best time to visit this place is between December to February end. There is play park for children. Small museum to describe the birds. Toilets are not hygienic. Entry fee Rupees 10 per head and Rupees 100 for foreign national. Boating fee Rupees 250.

Having a wonder full place for migrated birds, we can see the bird and having boat ride, the place was very clean and neat

Remote place, road was not good. Has good no of birds in month of Nov when i visited. But have to see from far as boats are not in working condition. Could have been better if boating fishing was also available.

Disappointed The boat drive is for ten min This so called lake is just 300 acres For people who are from that USA u might have seen tones of better lake than this For folks in India might be one time watch The bath rooms are horrible The museum was a Like toddler play school nothing worth to watch

Its good place to visit and the boating is quite good for some good time, budget friendly tickets too.
