★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Situated at Antichak in Kahalgaon sub-division, 38 KM from Bhagalpur, ancient Vikramshila University was famous as a Centre of learning during the Pala dynasty. The university was established by the King Dharmpala.
Two things impressed Dharmpala and motivated him to establish the university; first, the rocky hillock anchored around the confluence of the Kosi and Ganga rivers at Bateshwar Sthan was not only a scenic attraction but also a popular Tantric site. Second, the Ganga here was Uttar Vahini (flowing northwards) and as such, the place was a pilgrim center which drew large crowds during Varsavardhana.

Taking about the route:
Bhagalpur to Kahalgaoun Road are very rough, you always see jaam on that route. Roads are very slushy and muddy. BIG BIG Pat Holes are there on the road.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Vikramshila University which is situated in antichak near by kahalgaon is similar to the Nalanda University but it is so good from the Nalanda University and it is the best history to see her and all person will come from the other country will must watch here because this is very good place.Constructed in the time of pal dynasty to be precise Dharampal. It was famous for tantarik bhudism. Bkhteyar Khilji and his army destroyed it along with Nalanda University. Decline of Buddhism relegion started with the destruction of these University.Awesome site, but government needs to promote this and make a easy way to reach for interest tourists.This place is definitely worth a visit if you are in bhagalpur or nearby. once you visit this place you will realise why india used to be the education hub in ancient times. the architecture, history, the carvings, everything about these ruins is amazing.If you want to go there please visit in winter season ( October to February).You feel like coming to this place again and again. Though the road is rough yet it is worth the pain. The ruins reminds you of the glorious past and fills you with pride. A must visit for the first timers.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the oldest University and Library of the world.
The place is located in Kahalgao, Bhagalpur. 6-7 km distance from Kahalgao railway station and few km away from NTPC residential area. A decent place might be attractive for ancient place visitors. If you are a normal person and want to see this place I don't recommend. If you are a tiktoker and one who love to take pictures it's all yours.
A ticket of around 20 rupees.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Vikramshila University was one among the three best universities of ancient India. This university which sprawls over an area of 100 acres was founded by Dharampala, a ruler of Pala dynasty in the late 8th century. It prospered for about four centuries before it was destroyed including the other two universities by Bakhtiyar Khilji around 1193. The university at one point of time was traversed by a lot of students and teachers from various parts of Asia. But when the university underwent destruction, it was totally absconded and remained under-cover for centuries. There are plenty of articles available on the web. The place deserves a good spot in our conscious memory!
