Netarhat

Locstion: Netarhat, Jharkhand, India.

Estimate Visit Time: The best & ideal time to visit Netarhat is during the spring and early summer months. However, surrounded by beautiful highlands of Chotanagpur and pristine waterfalls, Netrahat is an all-year-round destination for a quick weekend retreat.

Netarhat is a hill station in Latehar district (earlier in the erstwhile Palamu district) in the Indian state of Jharkhand. It is also referred to as the “Queen of Chotanagpur” and is a hill station. The town is also famous for Netarhat Residential School, set up in 1954. (According to wiki)
This is the place where your heart dons wings like a bird set free from the urban dungeons, it soars over hills and vales, tapping the rhythm of the wild hilly rivulets. It leaps way ahead of your head transporting you along on its flights of fancy.
Needless to say, the Netarhat Plateau on the upper was, “Near to the Heart” of the erstwhile British soldiers too, that reminded them of their Scottish moors back home. Dense forests, serpentine roads, cool bracing breeze,  nights may have probably prevailed upon the English to christen the place as Nature’s heart or Netarhat. However, some argue that the place has been named after ‘Netur Haat’ which means a marketplace for bamboo in the local language. Located at about 3622 feet high in Latehar District about 156 kms West of Ranchi, it was once the sumer retreat of the British Governor. Satpura range from Central India, meets the Chotanagpur plateau on the eastern side, at Netarhat is also the home of various primitive tribes, who had been residing in its hills for generations, in close harmony with nature.
