Ghatshila | Jharkhand |



If you’ve visited Ranchi and Kolkata -- and having fallen in love with both the cities, you now crave to experience their magic in unison, then do not worry. Your craving is not in vain for there is a place matching exactly that description! Situated in East Singhbhum district of Jharkhand, the town of Ghatshila has the winding rivulets and serene waterfalls of Ranchi while also harbouring ample sites of religious worship and a rich multicultural heritage that Kolkata does. Ghatshila is a town of festivals, where the locals are fond of celebrating in unity. Visiting Ghatshila means not only that you’re in for the opportunity of spending quality time in nature, by the side of mystical waterfalls and picturesque hills, but also that you get to pay heed to deities in old historical temples.
Natural Attractions
Part of the region in central India with thick tropical forest cover and rocky terrains, Ghatshila is abundant in natural beauty. Some of the sites that tourists and locals frequent are:

Phuldungri Hills


At a distance of about 4.2 kms from the centre of the city, this is a series of hillocks rather close to Tata Nagar. Upon climbing the top, one can obtain an aerial view of Ghatshila. This view is especially remarkable at night when the light of the town are switched on and one can see them spread out all across the landscape. While the view is mesmerising on its own, the trek trail itself is no less. Passing through dense forests, it is a relatively less known path that is sure to enthrall you if you like trekking in general.
