Kadamadiha Sanjay River Picnic Spot
Kadamadiha is a picturesque picnic spot located on the banks of the Sanjay River. The river here flows over a bed of smooth pebbles and wide sandbanks, creating a scenic environment for outdoor gatherings. The area is bordered by a thick forest of Sal trees, which provides ample shade for picnickers . The water of the Sanjay River is relatively calm here, making it safe for children to play near the edges. During the winter months, the water level drops, exposing large sandy areas that are perfect for setting up portable stoves and mats. The spot is well-known among locals but remains a "hidden gem" for outsiders. The air is fresh, and the only sounds you hear are the gentle flow of the river and the rustling of leaves. It is an ideal place for a day-long excursion with a large group of friends or family. The drive to Kadamadiha is equally beautiful, passing through winding forest roads and tribal settlements. It represents the quintessential riverine beauty of the Chota Nagpur plateau, where water, woods, and hills meet in perfect harmony.
