Jogi Waterfall
Jogi Waterfall is a secluded and mystical waterfall located in the dense forests near the border of Latehar and Lohardaga districts. Legend has it that the waterfall was named after a "Jogi" (hermit) who used to meditate in the small caves behind the falling curtain of water. The fall is characteriz ed by its slender but high drop, creating a fine mist that cools the surrounding area even in the height of summer. The path to the waterfall is a trek through ancient forest lands where the canopy is so thick that sunlight barely reaches the ground. This creates a prehistoric atmosphere that is both thrilling and serene. The pool at the base of the waterfall is shallow and clear, surrounded by large boulders that have been smoothed over centuries. Unlike the more famous falls in Jharkhand, Jogi Waterfall remains a secret known only to locals and serious explorers. It offers a sense of total isolation, where the only sounds are the chirping of insects and the constant rhythm of the falling water. For those staying in Netarhat, a visit to Jogi Waterfall is a spiritual journey into the heart of the wilderness, away from any signs of modern civilization.
