Bhimkund is a beautiful natural water reservoir on the River Baitarani. It is located exactly on the boundary line between the districts Kendujhar and Mayurbhanj, at a distance of about 60 km from Keonjhar and 220 km from State Capital Bhubaneswar.

It is being told that, Bhima, the second Pandava had taken bath in this reservoir and hence it was named after him. Great Hindu epic Mahabharata links Bhimkund with Pandavas.The kund lies in an underground cave and is about 30m from the mouth.The depth of this pool is believed to be measureless.

The pool is a lovely indigo blue which contrasts well with the red stone walls. There are some caves around it but no one has been adventurous enough to find out where they lead. There is something mysterious and exciting about this place, so much so that one almost tends to believe the pool’s epic origin.
