Let us tell you that Netarhat is the most famous mountain tourist destination of Jharkhand, which is situated at an altitude of about 3700 feet above sea level. Due to its natural beauty, dense forests, waterfalls, calm weather and pleasant views, it is very popular among tourists not only from Jharkhand but also from Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Odisha and West Bengal. Every year from November to February a huge crowd of tourists gathers here. Between December and January, even hotels and rest houses get booked months in advance.
Deputy Director Avinash Kumar said that the state government is working seriously to establish Netarhat on the national level tourism map. Jungle Safari is an important step in this direction, which will not only promote tourism but will also increase employment opportunities for the local people. In the first phase, safari has been started with three open vehicles, which will be jointly monitored by the Forest Department and Tourism Department.
