History Of Vikramshila Gangetic Dolphin Sanctuary
Bhagalpur, Bihar, India
The Vikramshila Gangetic Dolphin Sanctuary is a unique ecological treasure located in the Bhagalpur district of Bihar. Established in 1991, it covers a 60 KM stretch of the holy Ganges river, extending from Sultanganj to Kahalgaon. This sanctuary is the only one in Asia dedicated to the protection of the Gangetic Dolphin, locally known as 'Soons'. These dolphins are the National Aquatic Animal of India and are an endangered species. The river here provides a deep, slow-moving habitat ideal for these blind mammals, which use echolocation to navigate. Unlike sea dolphins, these freshwater creatures are shy and surface briefly for air, making the sighting a thrilling game of patience for tourists. The sanctuary is also a haven for other wildlife, including the Smooth-coated Otter, various species of Freshwater Turtles, and over 135 species of water birds. The biodiversity of this stretch is critical for the health of the river ecosystem. Local fishermen are involved in conservation efforts, often acting as guides. A boat ride on the vast expanse of the Ganges here offers not just a chance to see dolphins but also a glimpse into the rural life along the riverbanks. It is a must-visit for nature enthusiasts and wildlife photographers. :
