Located in the Bhagalpur District of Bihar, Vikramshila Gangetic Dolphin Sanctuary is stretched over a span of 50 km of the river Ganges, starting from Sultangunj to Kahalgaon. The Sanctuary was established in the year 1991 to protect the endangered species of Gangetic Dolphins which were once found in abundance, but now only a few hundreds of them have survived.
