India / Bihar / Munger / Fort Area
Named after the Proud Son of Munger and the First Chief Minister of the Bihar state Dr. Sri Krishna Sinha, Srikrishna Batika, is a very beautiful enclosed garden just opposite to Kashtaharni Ghat.

To have the pleasure of both a green place and the holy river Ganga this is one of the Must Visiting place for the peoples coming to Munger.

Sri Krishna Vatika is also one of the most interesting as well as adventurous venue available in Munger as it has two “Surangs” (tunnels). Some efforts in the past had been made to pass through the tunnels also known as:

Mir Kasim’s Surang but these have only proved to be life taking.

There are some tombs of Gul and Bahar, wards of Mir Kasim Ali.

  • About Munger Tourism Munger was earlier known as Monghyr in the British days, and has a rich cultural past. Situated in Munger district in Bihar, the town was famous for the manufacture of iron products like swords and firearms. It was conquered by Mohammad Khilji in 1197, and is mentioned as a place of strategic military importance in the chronicles of that period. During Akbar’s regime, Monghyr was the seat of power of his general, Todar Mal and later Nawab Mir Quasim shifted the capital from Murshidabad to Munger, to stay away from British control. Surrounded by the Ganges on three sides and Kharagpur hills on the other side, Munger is a nature lover’s paradise. Quiet, serene and picturesque, with many religious and historic locations Munger remains a popular travel destination.
