Famous waterfalls of Jharkhand brimming with Tourists Ahead of Festive Season
Waterfalls are scenically beautiful and attract tourists and visitors. Ahead of the Festive season, the famous Jharkhand waterfalls Hundru, Jonha, Lodh, Dassam, Sita, Panchghag, and Hirni are visited by tourists mostly.
According to a tourism official, the waterfalls, which are well-known for their breathtaking natural beauty and the way the water cascades down from great heights, have become a key draw for visitors coming from all over the state and the rest of the country, primarily West Bengal.
Tarak Nath Sahu, a visitor from Kolkata who spent the day at Jonha Falls, told PTI, “I have never seen such a lovely spot in my life. It is beautiful to see the surrounding natural beauty, hills, and massive amounts of water dropping from a height of roughly 150 feet. One of the nicest spots in the world would be located here if there were a lodging facility. Due to its stunning natural surroundings, Jonha, which is around 40 miles from Ranchi’s city, has long been a popular destination for tourists. The stunning waterfall is accessible to visitors by descending around 700 stairs.
