156 kms from Ranchi is 'Netarhat, the queen of Chotanagpur. It is situated at a height of 3,700 ft. above sea level and is a hill station of Bihar. Netarhat is a beautiful resort during summer. Dense forests, serpentine roads, cool bracing breeze, moonlit nights must have persuaded the English to call this place which possibly sums up 'nature' and heart of Netarhat. This place is an out of this world experience.

SUNRISE AND SUNSET VIEWS
The sunrise and sunset views are very fascinating here. The tourist bungalows here (Hotel Prabhat Vihar of BSTDC and Palamu Bungalow) are an ideal place for viewing sunrise which is equally picturesque. 10 kms 'Magnolia point' famous for its stunning sunset view.
