Place account

The story

The Kharagpur Hills rise into a forest landscape known for hot springs. Bihar Tourism places the Bhimbandh visitor destination in south-west Munger.

The department describes springs in valleys and at the foothills. Its account names Bhimbandh, Sita Kund and Rishi Kund.

Bihar Tourism connects the name with Bhima and a dam in Mahabharata-associated tradition. This is an attributed legend, not a dated historical construction record.

MoEF’s protected-area list as on December 2019 records Bhimbandh Wildlife Sanctuary at 681.99 square kilometres. That dated extent is not a new boundary measurement.

The Munger district link anchors the Tourism destination record; it does not map the entire sanctuary’s current legal boundary.

The 681.99 km² figure is explicitly the December 2019 protected-area list, not a 2026 survey.

No medicinal efficacy, safe bathing temperature, wildlife sighting, guided trail availability or present visitor access is certified.

Opening hours, entry fees, current bookings, accessibility and verified entrances are not supplied here.

A suitably licensed sanctuary landscape photograph was not obtained. No unrelated bird or village image should be substituted as a Bhimbandh view.
