Panoramic Hills View
Sub Place Details: Panoramic Hills View is a breathtaking lookout point located on the road leading toward Netarhat. As the name suggests, it offers a 360-degree view of the undulating hills and deep valleys of the Chotanagpur Plateau. The viewpoint is situated at a high altitude, often being kissed by clouds during the monsoon season. It is a perfect spot for those who appreciate landscape beauty and want to see the vast expanse of Jharkhand's forest cover. The air here is noticeably cooler and fresher than in the plains. The hills appear in different shades of blue and green depending on the time of day. It is a popular stopover for travelers driving from Gumla to the "Queen of Chotanagpur," Netarhat. The silence of the hills is only broken by the sound of the wind. There are small tea stalls nearby where one can enjoy a hot drink while taking in the vista. This spot is particularly loved by romantic couples and landscape photographers. The geological formation of the hills here shows the "Pat" region characteristics. :

Portraits with the layered blue hills in the background are very popular. Capturing the winding road as it disappears into the forest is another great composition. Sunrise shots from the eastern ledge are spectacular.
