Lilatari Waterfall
A Hidden Natural Wonder: The Lilatari Waterfall, also known locally as the Chhota Ghagri fall, is one of the most breathtaking natural attractions in the Pakur district. Hidden within the dense foliage of the Surajbera region, the waterfall cascades down from a height of approximately 60 Feet into a clear, rocky pool below. The sound of the falling water echoes through the surrounding valley, creating a tranquil and refreshing environment. Unlike many commercialized waterfalls, Lilatari remains pristine and untouched, offering a raw experience of nature. The path to the waterfall involves a short but invigorating trek through forest trails and over natural boulders. During the monsoon season, the waterfall swells in volume, creating a powerful mist that cools the entire area. The pool at the base is shallow enough in certain spots for visitors to dip their feet and enjoy the cool, mountain water. Lush ferns and wild moss cover the surrounding rocks, giving the place an emerald-green appearance. It is a favorite spot for local picnickers, especially during the winter months when the weather is mild. The waterfall is fed by a perennial stream that originates deep within the hills, ensuring a steady flow throughout most of the year. For nature lovers and photographers, Lilatari Waterfall is a dream destination that captures the wild, untamed spirit of Jharkhand's landscape.

The vertical drop measures roughly 60 Feet. The rocks at the base are weathered and smooth, creating a natural amphitheater spanning a diameter of 80 Feet. There is no artificial architecture here, but the surrounding stone walls of the valley create a majestic natural enclosure. The step-like formations of the rocks allow for multiple smaller cascades during high flow. -
