Sukhaldari Fall
Sub Place Details: Sukhaldari Fall is a spectacular waterfall situated on the Kanhar River. Although it is frequently associated with the broader Latehar regional tours, it technically sits on the border of Garhwa district and is a major attraction for those visiting North Jharkhand. The fall drops from a height of approximately 100 feet into a wide basin. It is unique because it marks the boundary between Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, and Uttar Pradesh. The name "Sukhaldari" suggests a "place of happiness," and indeed, the sight of the wide river plunging over the rocky shelf is a joyful experience. The area is surrounded by dense forests and rugged hills, providing a perfect backdrop for a day out. During the winter, the water flow is steady and the surrounding air is crisp, making it a premier destination for picnic lovers across the three bordering states.

Natural Amphitheater: The river creates a wide, horseshoe-like drop. The rocks at the base have been worn into smooth steps by the constant force of the water over centuries. The width of the fall is impressive, spanning nearly 50 feet during the rainy season. There are no man-made structures on the fall itself, preserving its raw architectural beauty. The natural basin at the bottom acts like a large pool, though it is quite deep and rocky. -
