Sukhaldari Fall
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 a pproximately 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.
