Hirni Falls
हिरनी जलप्रपात
A forest-enclosed waterfall of about 37 metres, with a lookout tower overlooking the falls and the surrounding forest, passing Munda tribal villages on the way.
Hirni Falls lies in the forest about 70 km south of Ranchi, on the road towards Jamshedpur. The Ramgarh River plunges about 37 metres from the cliff, surrounded by dense sal forest, and a lookout tower offers views over the falls and the sea of trees. The route passes Munda tribal villages, and the scenery feels unspoilt. Visitors are relatively few, so it suits a hired car, combined with Panchghagh Falls on the same day. Take care in the monsoon season when roads can be difficult, and do not approach the edge of the falls.
