Netarhat

Netarhat

Netarhat is mesmerizing, nestled within a deep, dark forest surrounded by green hills. Netarhat is the location to go for nirvana if you want to get away from the commotion of a crowded metropolis. This is like a passport to paradise for everyone who wishes to see nature in its colourful glory. Dotted with lush green, misty sheet-covered mountains, idyllic waterfalls, and exquisite gardens, Netarhat will mesmerize you with memorable moments this winter. It is situated in the Latehar district of Jharkhand. In addition to the natural beauty, viewing the golden sunrise and stunning sunset will make you feel you are viewing the most exceptional natural beauty on earth.

Netarhat will surely satisfy the quest for winter beauty. Various topography makes it one of India's most fantastic winter destinations. This is a peak tourist season for Netarhat, so make sure you make your bookings in advance. Located at the foot of a forested hillside, The Prabhat Vihar Deluxe gives the most incredible sunrise view. The property of Jharkhand tourism development corporation (JTDC) is on nature's lap, surrounded by picturesque hills and luxuriantly green woods.

Saranda Forest 

The Saranda forest is one of the magnificent aspects of nature. It is located in the West Singhbhum District, 60 km from Jamshedpur. One is spellbound by its majesty, captivating charm, and splendour. Perhaps nature should have praised the contours of its 700 hills more generously. The observers taking in the scene from one of the many hills' peaks will undoubtedly agree. The scenery offers a stunning vista of hills upon hills with heavily forested valleys and meandering living streams. The foggy winter mornings, a slight nip in the air, and the moving clouds add to the scenic charm of the forest. Winter sprinkles its magic mist throughout the mountainscape, making it look more charming.

Right from mammals to birds and reptiles, Saranda is a golden wildlife treasure. However, its majestic elephants are known worldwide, and the magical sunrise and sunset of Kiriburu in the hills of Saranda is a spectacular sight. Travelling to this kingdom of Sal trees, with its natural wealth and diverse wildlife, will be one of life's most memorable experiences.

Parasnath Hills

Parasnath Hills are a range of hills located at the eastern mete of Chota Nagpur Plateau as if born to add mountain flavour to the touristry platter of woody Jharkhand. The highest peak of the Parasnath range is Parasnath itself, marking its dominance as the tallest peak in Jharkhand, with a decent altitude of 4,429 feet. This temple is famous among religious people, adventure enthusiasts, and nature lovers. Parasnath Hill enjoys a maritime climate throughout the year, and to be very realistic, you can visit the city any time of the year.

However, the months between September and February see the highest tourist inflow to the city because the weather becomes even more pleasant during winter. The winter months in Parasnath Hill are the best time to visit the city. Nature's mystique, scenic charm, and the snow-lidden Mountains all add to the place's scenic beauty. Surrounded by greenery, this place draws many crowds, especially in winter.

Betla National Park 

Deers at Betla National Park

Spread over the hilly terrains of the beautiful Palamu district, Betla National Park is one of the most visited national parks in Jharkhand. The place accommodates wild animals and a wide variety of flora and fauna. The onset of winter further enriches the overall experience as the temperature in Betla National Park takes a dip during winter, allowing many wildlife enthusiasts to make the most of their surroundings. Wild animals, too, come out of their secret shelters to soak up the wintry sun, and migratory birds decorate the sky canvas. Overall, a visual treat awaits anyone who tries to visit the Betla National Park during winter. A safari trip leading into the mystic depths of a forest is always inviting to a traveller. You can also plan your stay at Hotel Van Vihar, a property of Jharkhand Tourism Development Corporation, during your visit to Betla National Park and enjoy an adventurous trip with a peaceful stay.

Picnics At Waterfalls

Winter picnic at waterfalls is probably the best idea one can have. Jharkhand has several beautiful mountains and dense forests, but the state's main appeal is its waterfalls. The capital city of Ranchi is known as the 'City of Waterfalls'. These falls also allow indulging in various adventure sports and simply rejuvenating the soul, seeking peace. Dassam Falls, Hundru Falls, Hirni Falls, Sita Falls, and Lodh Falls look the loveliest and most dramatic in winter, with rays of sunlight giving them a bright appearance. The waterfalls here are synonymous with mesmerizing beauty, surreal landscape, and an all-around atmosphere of serenity. 

A place so beautiful that you will never want to return home. It is an ideal vacation for anyone who wishes to enjoy some good wintertime with friends and family. This winter, visit Jharkhand and satisfy your quest for the best winter beauty. Wishing you all a happy and warm winter ahead.
