About Moti Jheel, Motihari
The long oxbow lake that Motihari is built around and named for, with the town on both banks and a promenade that has been done up in recent years. It is where the town walks in the evening and bathes on Chhath. Not a sight; a pleasant half hour between the Gandhi museum and the Orwell house.
What to see and do
- The lakeside promenade
- Chhath ghats
- Evening walkers and boats
