Check out Netarhat, Jharkhand’s new ecotourism site

Located approximately 157 km from Ranchi, Netarhat is a scenic hill station in Latehar district in Jharkhand. Known for splendid waterfalls, verdant forest and lush hills, Netarhat is a great offbeat destination for nature lovers.

Due to the lack of proper infrastructure, these offbeat destinations remain out of the view of the rest of the country and the world. That is soon going to change because the state government is planning to develop Netarhat’s cultural and ecotourism scene.

As per sources, a number of initiatives are underway. Homestays are going to be one of the major features of this initiative. Netarhat is a predominantly tribal area, and homestays here will allow visitors to experience the incredible experience of living with the tribes and experiencing their beautiful culture and traditions. Several youths have also been given hospitality and catering training.

For those who love to take the road less taken, Netarhat is a perfect place. To reach Netarhat, one will have to go through deep forest areas, and here you can truly enjoy being in nature. Sounds like a great adventure holiday already!

Apart from the nature experiences, when in Netarhat, your itinerary should also include Koyal Viewpoint for sunrise view and Magnolia Point for sunset view. Lower Ghaghri and Upper Ghaghri waterfalls, Lodh Fall (Jharkhand’s highest waterfall) and Netarhat Dam are also some of the major attractions you need to bookmark right now. A place so rich in natural beauty and rich cultural heritage, deserves a visit.
