Bihar is located in the eastern region of India, bordering Nepal in the North,
West Bengal in the east, Uttar Pradesh in the West, and Jharkhand in the South.
Physical Features
North Gangetic plain is an extension of the Tarai region of Nepal with many tributaries of Ganges like Koshi, Gandak, Baghmati, and Kamla Balan flowing through it. It is a flood prone region and one of the most backward regions in the country. Central Bihar, south of Ganges, is a region with rich agricultural resources. Most of the north and central Bihar is plain with no significant elevation.
Climate
The climate of the state is tropical with hot summers and cold winters. Monsoon brings medium to high rainfall and floods several areas in Bihar. Humidity levels remain high in north and central Bihar throughout the summer and monsoon season, making them quite uncomfortable. The best time to visit the state is from October to March.
Flora and Fauna
After the division, most of the forest cover Bihar had went off with Jharkhand. There are only few pockets left in the state where forest cover can be said to be enough, like in the districts of West Champaran. West Champaran is home to Valmiki National Park, an extension of the more famed Royal Chitwan National Park of Nepal. There is a regular migration of wildlife between these parks and you can find a good concentration of tiger, nilgai, wolves, hares, chital, monkey, common langur, elephants, gaur, leopard and some other wildlife here.
