Chianki Hill
Details: Chianki Hill is a popular recreational spot and a beautiful hillock located just on the outskirts of Daltonganj. It offers a panoramic view of the surrounding plains and the Koyal River valley. The hill is a favorite destination for local picnickers and nature enthusiasts who want a quick e scape from city life. It features a well-defined trekking path that leads to the top, where the air is fresh and the views are rewarding. The area is covered with typical plateau vegetation, including short trees and shrubs that turn vibrant during the monsoon. At the base of the hill, there is a park often referred to as Chianki Park, which is equipped with basic amenities for families. It is a great place for morning exercises and yoga due to its tranquil environment. The hill holds spiritual significance as well, with small shrines located at various points. During the winter months, the hill becomes a hub for community gatherings and school excursions. The sunset from the peak is particularly famous among the locals. It provides a natural vantage point to observe the urban expansion of Medininagar. The proximity to the city makes it an accessible spot for a quick evening visit. The breeze at the top is cool even during the summer evenings. It serves as an important green lung for the growing town of Daltonganj.
