Ranchi,
Situated picturesquely in the heart of Chotanagpur at an
altitude of 2,140 ft above sea level is the nucleus of the
region. Once the summer capital of Bihar, Ranchi is well
known for its scenic attractions, waterfalls, barren rocks
& hillocks. It has a number of Industrial Complexes,
which are very important in the Industrial life of the country.
While on the one hand beautiful and exciting waterfalls
are scattered around this town, on the other hand huge industries
are also to be seen there, which do attract visitors. There
are many scenic attractions in and around Ranchi that hold
tourists for days together.
Hazaribagh,
Meaning a thousand gardens, is a famous Health Hill Resort
situated on a height of 2019 ft. above sea level. It has
an excellent climate and beautiful sceneries are all around
it in the midst of dense forest. It is rich in flora and
fauna. Hazaribagh is 93 kms from Ranchi by road and at the
same time it is also well connected by road with important
towns of the state. It falls on N.H. 33.The Hazaribagh plateau
has on its eastern margin, Parasnath the highest hill in
Bihar, rising to a height of 4,480 feet. The loftiness here
is of another order.
Chotanagpur,
Blissfully remote and uniquely beautiful, the tranquil environs
of Chotanagpur offers an ideal escape from the restrictions
of civilization. It is still the place of bygone days tempered
with moments of serenity, goodwill and charm that make it
impossible not to be seduced by its beauty and climate.
The landscape combines. The raucous vivacity, the exquisite
scenery, the creaking Ox-carts and innocent tribal looks
that greet us everywhere, pollution is something unheard
and for the fraction of the amount of what we pay in metros,
one can buy fruits and vegetables with unmatched natural
taste and flavour.
