Bhimkund

Bhimkund or Bhima Kunda is a beautiful natural waterfall on the River Baitarani.  It is located exactly on the boundary line between the districts of Keonjhar and Mayurbhanj, at a distance of about 100 km from Keonjhar and 40 km from Karanjia.

 

This waterfall is two-storeyed which resulted in the formation of two waterfalls one above another.  It is being told that Bhima, the second Pandava had taken bath in this waterfall and hence it was named after him.

 

The water of this waterfall is fully transparent and looks blue in color.  The waterfall is believed to have measureless depth. The place is ideal for picnickers.

 

During Makar Festival in the month of January thousands of people gather here to take their holy dip. The place can also be approached from Dhenkikote (20 Kms.) on S.H. No 11 connecting Keonjhar and Panikoili.
