Journey To Bhimkund and Sanghagra Waterfall

After the Morning Arti at Maa Tarini temple,Ghatagaon at 6.30 AM we came out from the temple. We had out breakfast. It was the time to go to Bhimkund,the natures miracle.

About Bhimkund: -
     Bhimkund, a beautiful natural water reservoir on the Baitarani River covering the boundary line between the districts Keojhar and Mayurbhanj. It a nature miracle, explains a lot when scores of visitors make this place as their idle place to visit. This is an ideal place for picnickers. This place is the gift of Baitarani river creating two most beautiful and scary waterfall called sanakunda and Badakunda. These are the main attraction for the tourist.

History of Bhimkund:-
This the black pathway made due to Bhimas Gada 
    It is believed that Bhimkund has link with the Pandavas of Great Hindu epic Mahabharata. Being tired and exhausted under the hot sun, Draupadi fainted with thirst. Bhima, the strongest among the Pandavas, hit the ground with his gada (a kind of club with a round head, made of metal) and lo and behold, water surged out and the pool came into being. The during the whole process a black way created which can be seen through the white stone belt.
        The kund lies in an underground cave and is about 30m from the mouth. To the left of the entrance is a small Shivalinga (the phallic representation of Lord Shiva) But what’s truly astounding here is that the roof of the cave has a small opening just above the kund as this is the spot Bhim is said to have hit with his gada. The depth of this pool is believed to be measureless.
The waterfall has a terrific characteristic of imparting awesome experience to the visitors due to large vertical shaped gorge & speeding current and makes the environment smokey. The further huge roaring sound of the waterfall makes the place most interesting among tourists. 

Our Experience During Visit:-
     After reaching the place we completely astonished to see the landscape. The feeling couldnot be explained through words. 

     We went to the watchtower near Bhimkund to get a proper view of the Place. After that, we move forward to go near the Fall. The water flow was too scary and by years of movement of the stream cut the rocks and gives a splendid view.


As soon as I went near to the Kunda my interest in the place increases more and more. With curiosity, I started downward trekking to go to the base of the stream. 



   






After 1 hour of struggle, I managed to prove my presence at the base. But it is dangerous to go to the place because the flow of water can increase any time in a day. While returning I faced a lot of problems. I could not found a good place to grab for upward trekking. I was on so much problem i started praying to God for my life and again started to move forward and at last, managed to come out from the death trap. My friend were very much angry over me for my foolishness. Due to me a lot of time was wasted.


        
We returned back from that place and had our lunch at Keonjhar town. It was the time to move to Sanghagra Waterfall. At the entrance there was a ticket counter to enter the waterfall. After having the ticket we go through the pathway to the fall. So many development work has been carried out by the Government like Children Park, Boating and facility of toilet. But we were very much tired by walking through the pathway and the upward downward stairs. Aftyer 15 minutes we reached to the water fall. It is small fall with sound amount of water discharge. The water of the waterfaal was kept by making a small dam. 




It was the time to return to Bhubaneswar, Our home place. We returned in the the evening having a lot of unforgetable memory.

   A must visit place you never want to miss .
