The Top 10 Things To Do And See In Ranchi

Jonha Falls

Ranchi , the summer capital of Jharkhand, has some of the most scenic cityscapes in India. Popularly referred to as the City of Waterfalls, Ranchi is a beautiful destination full of natural and cultural wonders, with opportunities for trekking through bamboo covered topography and feasting on regional delicacies like ‘Golgappas’, discovering Rabindranath Tagore’s literary sanctuary at Tagore Hill and enjoying the immensity of the Rock Gardens. Read on to find out the best things to do and see in this eclectic city.

Lip Smacking Golgappas

Sample Street Food

Ranchi offers an authentic blend of cuisines, typically of tribal influences, that consist of a wide spectrum of homemade dishes such as a plateful of Channa Bhatura, which can be enjoyed with a refreshing glass of Sattu. The streets in Doranda offer many a gastronomic treat for food lovers, brimming with miniature golgappa stalls and local kulfi parlors. As you walk through a tantalizing trail of aromas, grab a bite of litti chokha – a delicious fried bun made from gram flour that is a favorite among locals, who love having this spicy snack with a steaming cup of masala chai tea.

1. Take a Dip at Jonha Falls

For nature enthusiasts, a casual outing to Jonha Falls accounts for a day filled with sunbathing, picnicking and perhaps grabbing a few mouthfuls of jalebis at the local fair. Seated at the edge of the Ranchi plateau, Jonha Falls are a fine example of hanging valley falls that originate over a master stream, the Raru River, and cascade from a height of 141 feet. Hundreds of tourists and locals eagerly climb past the 700 steps that lead to the waterfall.
