Mirchaiya Water Fall
Details: Mirchaiya Water Fall is a stunning natural attraction located on a tributary of the North Koel River. What makes this fall unique is its geological composition; it flows over a massive dome of Black Granite Lava, which creates a striking contrast with the white frothing water. The fall is not as high as Lodh, but it is considered one of the safest and most "approachable" falls in the region. The water cascades down a series of rocky steps into a shallow pool that is perfect for bathing and playing. It is situated deep within the Betla Tiger Project area, surrounded by a dense canopy of tropical deciduous trees. The name "Mirchaiya" is local, and the spot is often referred to as a mini-Niagara of the region due to the width of the water flow during the peak monsoon. The surrounding area is relatively flat compared to the steep cliffs of Netarhat, making it an ideal spot for family picnics. The sound of the water here is more of a gentle hum than a roar, creating a relaxing ambiance. Because it is located just off the main Garu-Netarhat road, it is very accessible for travelers passing through. The site is also a great place to observe local tribal life, as villagers often pass through the area. It serves as a gateway to the deeper wilderness of the Palamau division. For nature lovers, the attraction lies in the raw, dark beauty of the rocks and the crystal-clear water that remains cool throughout the year.
