Sabir Pichhri Bandh
Sabir Pichhri Bandh is a hidden reservoir located in the Chhotpichhri area, serving as a peaceful getaway for those who find Panchet Dam too crowded. This "Bandh" (embankment) was primarily constructed for local irrigation, but its scenic beauty has slowly turned it into a popular weekend spot. Sur rounded by low hills and vast stretches of open land, the reservoir offers a panoramic view of the Jharkhand countryside. The water is relatively clean, and the lack of commercialization makes it an ideal spot for soul-searching and quiet reflection. It is a place where you can still hear the wind and the calls of local birds, providing a stark contrast to the heavy industrial environment of the Jharia coalfields.
