Koel River

Latehar, Jharkhand, India
Details: The North Koel River at Chandandih is a majestic sight, especially where it widens as it flows through the district. This particular spot is a favorite for locals due to its proximity to the town and its sandy banks. The river originates from the Ranchi plateau and is a vital source of wate r for the region. At Chandandih, the river creates a wide, shallow bed filled with smooth pebbles and white sand. It is a peaceful place to watch the sunset as the water reflects the orange hues of the sky. The river is surrounded by agricultural fields and small tribal hamlets. During the winter, the water is calm and clear, making it ideal for a relaxing day out. It is also a site of cultural importance, where many local festivals are celebrated on the banks. The sound of the flowing water against the silence of the countryside is deeply therapeutic.
