Bhimkund Keonjhar Side

Place is very beautiful with amazing scenic view. Public needs to be sensible in keep the place clean and beautiful. Administration needs to put effort in managing heavy crowds especially on holidays and make some restrictions for people moving/doing picnic at wherever they want.
The walkway in the watch tower should have been broadened little bit more.

Excellent initiative by Rungta group for contributing towards the constructing of the approach road and watch Tower. The watch tower gives a 360* spectacular view of the historic waterfall. A must visit place as its a fabulous picnic spot too. Though periphery cleanliness is a point of concern but all the tourists visiting the spot should also take care by not throughing garbage all around the place.

We visited the Keonjhar side of Bhimkund, which is around 20kms from Dhenkikote, which stands on the National highway that connects Keonjhar with Panikoili. It is 60 kms away from Keonjhar town. It is advisible to take your own transport and not rely on local transport.

The roads leading to the site is very good. There are two main roads from the National Highway and both are in good condition. There is a fee for parking which is Rs.50 and the fee for entering the tower is Rs 10 each. The restrooms (both for ladies and gents) are in front of the fee counter and the charges are Rs 5 for each person. Restrooms are ok and it had water supply.

Bhimkund is a spectacular place laced with a religious fervor. It is said that the Pandavas had stayed for some time in this place. It has a huge statue of Bhima. Locals flock the place during Makar Sankranti to pay their obeisances. They take a dip on the holy water.

Here river Baitarani or Gupt Ganga falls as two water falls called Sanakunda and Badakunda. According to the locals, the gorges, Sanakunda abd Badakunda were created by Bhima with the help of his mace, to quench their thirst while they were in exile. Water from the earlier one was used for cooking and religious purposes and water from the later one is used for bathing.

The water falls amidst the lush green trees and mountains make it a wonderful sight. The sound of the roaring waters and the chirping of birds fills one with happiness.

The watch tower is a real blessing. It gives a spectacular view of the place.

Near the huge statue of Bhima, there is a Shiva temple, called Tirtheswara Mahadev which is an astha sambhu. From the temple, few steps lead you down to a small park, that also has a tiny temple of Lord Shiva (Bhimaswar) and Maa Ganga. Nearby there is a designated place for picnic. There is also a small statue of Maa Laxmi.

Underneath the beautiful water falls and the gorges, there is danger. The current of the water is very high, in addition to the shapeless rocks. Many accidents are reported every year, so one needs to be extra careful while going near water.

View from the top is superb the waterfall is falling very high speed. Lot of parking place you can park your vehicle and you have to work a little bit to see the view. There is no nearby food shop is there so you have to carry on food and water from distance. It's a recommended place to visit you can visit with your family and friends.

Lovely place for a one day tour. We have enjoyed a lot. Most interesting is to see the depth of river on the watch tower.
Recommended place for picnic party.

One of the best and most popular tourist spots in Keonjhar District.
A Must visit place.
Mythologicaly its said that Bhim hit his Gada (weapon) so hard that it created a big pond/kund, the depth is believed to be reaching hell or the core of the earth, even scientists have not been able to measure its depth.
It's a big area to explore, atleast 2 hours to take pics and roam around.
There are multiple view points so you have to walk some distance to cover all the view points. People also go down (little risky) the canion to get more beutiful pics of the river cutting through the rocks.

Very beautiful place to spend time with friends or family.A good picnic spot with availability of parking. You can take bath at your own risk also 🤪 bcz it's very cold water .Try not to go alone ...
