Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car, start from the nearest major city, Bhubaneswar, which is approximately 200 km away. Take the NH16 highway towards Cuttack and continue on NH49 to Keonjhar. Once you reach Keonjhar, follow the signs towards Ghatagaon. From Ghatagaon, take the road towards Ghatabalijodi, which will lead you directly to Bhimkund. The route is well-marked, and the drive offers scenic views of the hills and forests surrounding the area. Be prepared for some narrow roads as you approach the destination.

• Public Transportation

  To reach Bhimkund using public transportation, take a bus from Bhubaneswar to Keonjhar. There are several buses available throughout the day, and the journey takes about 5-6 hours. Once in Keonjhar, you can hire a local taxi or auto-rickshaw to take you to Ghatagaon. From there, you can find shared autos or local transport to reach Bhimkund. Be sure to check the bus schedules in advance, and consider setting aside around INR 300-500 for the local transport from Keonjhar to Bhimkund.

• Shared Taxi

  Another option is to book a shared taxi from Bhubaneswar directly to Keonjhar. This can be more comfortable than a bus and can reduce travel time. Shared taxis are available from major taxi stands or can be booked online. The cost per person is usually around INR 500-700, depending on the demand. After arriving in Keonjhar, you can follow the same local transport options to reach Bhimkund.

• Local Transport

  In Ghatagaon or Keonjhar, look for local auto-rickshaws or share autos heading towards Bhimkund. They are frequent and usually charge around INR 50-100 per person, depending on the distance. It’s advisable to ask local residents for the best transport options available at the time of your visit.
