Hundru Falls
हुंडरू जलप्रपात
The Subarnarekha River plunges about 98 meters off a cliff, making it the tallest and most famous waterfall in Jharkhand.
Hundru Falls is where the Subarnarekha River drops about 98 meters straight off the edge of the plateau. During the monsoon the water volume is huge and the roar is deafening, while in the dry season the flow splits into several thin streams. The rocks and pools at the base make a good picnic spot. A descent of roughly 700 steps leads from the car park to the foot of the falls, and the climb back is tiring. Entry and parking fees are very low, and there are snack stalls nearby. Hundru is about 45 km from Ranchi city, roughly 1.5 hours' drive. It is often combined with Jonha and Sita falls in a day trip. During the monsoon the rocks are slippery and the current is strong, so never swim here.
