I had visited Jonha Falls near Ranchi, and I must say — what an absolute gem! Ranchi, often called the “City of Waterfalls,” truly lives up to its name, and Jonha Falls is one of its shining highlights.
The falls are formed by the RARHU river plunging dramatically, creating a breathtaking cascade that’s both powerful and serene. To reach the base, you have to descend around 500 steps, which adds a little adventure to the experience — and trust me, the view at the bottom is totally worth it!
The lush greenery, the roar of the water, and the fresh mist in the air make Jonha Falls a perfect escape into nature’s beauty. If you’re ever in Ranchi, don’t miss this place — it’s a must-see for every traveler and nature lover!
How to Reach Jonha Falls & Accessibility :accessibility
By Road: Jonha Falls is about 40 km from Ranchi city. You can hire a taxi, take a private car, or use local buses heading towards Jonha village.
By Train: The nearest railway station is Jonha Railway Station, around 1.5 km from the falls. From there, you can walk or take a local vehicle.
Accessibility : To reach the base of the falls, visitors must descend around 500 steep steps, so it may not be suitable for elderly travelers or those with mobility challenges. Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for a bit of a climb back up!
Yes, dear @NandKK
It is really breathtaking…Jonha Water Fall…
Since we have many of them in Kerala, your feel is fully understandable…

Thanks for sharing

In the city of Ranchi, there is more than 7 waterfalls in and around the city. That is why it is also called as “City of waterfalls”. However, the beauty of waterfalls in Kerala, Karnataka and Tamilnadu cannot be compared to these one.
Wow, I didn’t know about this! I’ll definitely use that tip next time. Slowing the shutter speed to capture creamy water sounds amazing. Thanks so much for the suggestion — I still have so much to learn about photography! @TravellerG@Kumaarsantosh .
