Bhimbandh hot water springs

 This place is in Munger district.  I went there thrice for my class picnic. From my 6th to 8th std we went to only this place for picnic. 

Going for picnic in Bihar was of another kind of experience. In those days, political situation was not so good. So, my school used to get army help for picnic. Some of the army people not less than 5 to 7 of them would travel with us in our bus with all their rifles. 

The first time I saw this, I was wondering why army needs to go with us? This never happened to me that I went for picnic in Odisha. It would be only teachers and students. But, in Bihar we needed special protection. ๐Ÿ˜‚

First year we went inside the forest to a natural spring. Bathing was out of scope because of the hot water and also the rocky stream bed. But, we enjoyed a lot dipping our feets in stream and having fun. 

2nd time we went to resort kind of place. It had 2 big swimming pools and a tiny one inbetween the two big pools. One of the swimming pools had moderate hot water and other one was too hot. So, all the boys went to bath and we girls enjoyed putting our legs inside the pool which had high temperature. 

Putting leg in hot water springs is like enjoying pedicure.  Though non of us would have had this pedicure thing done by that time for sure. Dip your feets until you can bear that temperature and then remove and again go back to doing this. Later we would see how our feets are looking so pink and sometimes red. The funs and chit chats with classmates can never be forgotten.  The saddest part is not a single photo was taken by any of us or our teachers. 

They say this place has some connections to Mahabharata times and hence is named after Bhim.
