    Golden Tree in Puri is a good base because the staff can arrange a short haul cab to Balugaon Bus Stand, which is only about 15 minutes away. From there you can catch a local boat to Birds’ Island. If you prefer a quieter spot closer to the lake, Mayfair Palm Beach Resort in Gopalpur is about an hour’s drive from the airport and has a small shuttle that can be booked for the lake area.
