Jopno Waterfall
Jopno Waterfall is a hidden treasure located in the Chayadih region of Khunti. It is a smaller, more intimate waterfall compared to its famous neighbors, making it a perfect spot for those seeking privacy and a quiet atmosphere. The waterfall is formed by a local stream that meanders through agricul tural fields before dropping over a rocky ledge. The surrounding landscape is a mix of forest and tribal farmland, offering a glimpse into the rural life of Jharkhand. During the rainy season, the waterfall expands into a wide curtain of white foam. The pool at the bottom is relatively shallow and clear, making it a favorite for local children. The approach road to Jopno passes through beautiful tribal hamlets where one can see traditional mud houses with intricate wall art. It is an excellent destination for slow travel, where the journey is as beautiful as the destination. The lack of commercial shops ensures that the area remains quiet and clean. It is a place where you can sit for hours listening to the water and the chirping of forest birds without any interruption.
