Hundru Falls

Hundru Falls is the famous waterfalls in Jharkhand and a major tourist attraction near Ranchi. Formed by the Subarnarekha River, the waterfall drops from a height of about 98 meters (322 feet), creating a spectacular view.

Hundru Falls is among the highest and spectacular waterfalls in Jharkhand, located approximately 45 kilometers from Ranchi city.
