How To Reach Nambi Pahar

By Air:The nearest major airport is Birsa Munda Airport (IXR) in Ranchi, approximately 156 km away. The airport is well-connected to major Indian cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Bangalore. From the airport, visitors can hire a pre-booked taxi or cab directly to Netarhat, a journey that takes approximately 4 to 5 hours via NH39. Alternatively, one can take a bus from Ranchi to Netarhat.

By Train:The closest major railway station is Ranchi Junction (RNC), about 154 km away, which has excellent connectivity to almost all parts of India. A closer, though smaller, railway station is Lohardaga Railway Station (LHD), approximately 70 km from Netarhat. From either station, the remaining journey must be completed by road—hiring a pre-paid taxi or taking a local/state transport bus from the bus stand near the station to Netarhat.

By Road:Netarhat is well-connected by a well-maintained road network from Ranchi, Daltonganj (about 118 km), and the district headquarters Latehar (about 82 km). State-run buses and private luxury buses operate regularly from Ranchi to Netarhat. The drive itself, especially the ascent into the plateau, is highly scenic, passing through dense forests and hairpin bends. Self-driving is a popular option, offering the flexibility to stop and enjoy the picturesque views. The main highway connecting it is often cited as NH39 (or roads leading from it).

By Local Transport:Once in Netarhat town (near the bus stand), reaching the base of Nambi Pahar (approx. 8-10 km away) requires hiring a local transport option. This can be an auto-rickshaw (tuk-tuk), a shared jeep (locally called a 'tempo' or 'Commander'), or a private taxi. Due to the secluded nature of Nambi Pahar, hiring a private local taxi or jeep and a local guide is essential to navigate the final forest track leading to the trekking point. The final part of the journey may require walking or trekking due to the unpaved forest road condition. (Approx. )
