"First, we will try to save the lake and then beautify the area," he said.

Very nice place for tour and nature view. There are Kuti for satsang, Shiva temple, mosque for Muslims, Ferry service for travellers from Manihari Ghat to Sahibganj ghat jharkhand. Ganga Aarti and boat service for local, national and international travellers. This place is famous for nature , religious, educational and economical tourism.
Ganga Ghat is one of the iconic places of Manihari subdivision. Their importance is also increased from social, religious and business point of view. Everyday people come here to bathe according to their faith. In the month of Maghi Purnima and Sawan, lakhs of devotees come to bathe from different parts of the country and take Ganga water. From the business point of view, here Gitti, sand and stone are imported from Sahebganj district of Jharkhand and many other places, which are exported to many parts of Bihar and India. And everyday people travel by water from Manihari to Sahebganj. But some things may disappoint you, such as lack of clean Ganga Ghat, convoy of vehicles here in disorganized ways, not working under Ganga Cleanliness Campaign Scheme. Despite all these, coming here will make you happy.
There is a small closed place for ladies to change clothes
Ganga ghat for Ganga snaan . But there no administrative management from govt of bihar. You can travel to Sahebganj by LCT or Stimmer.
River bank... Needs goverment interference ...so that erosion can be stopped... Basic facilities.... Not to expect more... People mainly come here for a holy bath or for last rituals .....
