This ambitious project, with a budget of ₹97.61 crores sanctioned by the Central Government, will be built over the renowned Matsyagandha Lake in Saharsa.
The project is expected to elevate Saharsa as a prominent tourist destination while generating thousands of employment opportunities in the region.
The picturesque Matsyagandha Lake will undergo a complete transformation as part of the project. A total of 22 key attractions will be developed, including:
The development of Matsyagandha Lake is anticipated to create significant employment opportunities in sectors like handicrafts, hospitality, and transport. The initiative aims to uplift the local economy while boosting the tourism industry.
With this project, Saharsa is set to become a major hub for both domestic and international tourists, further strengthening Bihar’s cultural and natural heritage.
Alongside Saharsa’s glass bridge, Kaimur district will see the development of an eco-tourism adventure hub in Karamchak, with ₹49.51 crores allocated for this project. This hub will focus on adventure tourism, catering to nature and thrill-seekers alike.
Dr. Alok Ranjan, Saharsa MLA, expressed his gratitude, stating that the beautification of Matsyagandha Lake was a promise he made during his election campaign, and it is now being fulfilled.

Bihar has been consistently focusing on tourism development in recent years. Projects like the Rajgir Glass Bridge, Golghar in Patna, and now the Saharsa and Kaimur initiatives underscore the state’s commitment to promoting its rich cultural and natural resources.

The state government has also expressed plans to introduce similar projects in other districts to further expand Bihar’s tourism landscape.
