Bilasi Bandh
Rural Oasis: Bilasi Bandh is a beautiful water reservoir located in the heart of the Fullidumar block. It is a lesser-known destination that offers untouched natural beauty and a peaceful escape for those looking to explore the offbeat paths of Banka. The dam is surrounded by undulating hills and de nse vegetation, making it a paradise for nature enthusiasts and solitude seekers. The water is remarkably clear, reflecting the changing colors of the sky throughout the day. It serves as a vital water source for the local tribal communities and their livestock. The area around the bandh is rich in local flora and fauna, often echoing with the calls of forest birds. Unlike more popular tourist spots, Bilasi Bandh retains a raw and rugged charm that hasn't been commercialized. It is a perfect spot for those who enjoy "slow travel" and want to connect with the rural essence of Bihar. The silence of the place is only broken by the sound of ripples and the wind blowing through the trees. It is a testament to the hidden beauty that lies in the remote corners of the Banka district.
