Places to visit

• Bhimbandh Wildlife Sanctuary : The 682 square kilometer Bhimbandh Wildlife Sanctuary is the ideal location for nature lovers to find peace and discover the secret treasures hiding in Bihar's forests. The tradition that Bheema, one of the five Pandava brothers from the epic Mahabharata, constructed a dam (bandh) here gave rise to the town's name. It is located above the Kharagpur Hills and is home to several creatures in idyllic settings, including wild boar, panthers, van murgi, nilgais, tigers, chitals, and sambhar. The grassland biome and the woodland biome are also present. The migratory season brings a lot of birds to this area. Additionally, the valley is home to several hot springs, including SitaKund and RisiKund.

• KashtaharniGhat : This site, located on the banks of the Ganges, is not only religiously significant for Hindus, but it is also a lovely place to spend one's morning and evening in the rich visual splendor. Locals say that Lord Rama and Goddess Sita bathed here on their way back to Ayodhya. Kashtaharni literally translates as "the bathing location that removes all suffering." Bathing in the KashtaharniGhat, according to common belief, heals all pain and comforts the mind, body, and spirit. Manpathar is a small village near this ghat. It is a boulder in the riverbed that resembles two feet, presumably the feet of Goddess Sita.
