Netarhat - popularly called the 'Queen of Chhotanagpur', is 156 km west of Ranchi Town. It is a plateau covered with thick forests situated at a height of 3,700 feet or 1128 metres above sea level. Generally people visit this place to enjoy the breath taking Sunrise and Sunset. Netarhat is a beautiful resort during summer . Dense forests, surpentine roads, cool bracing breeze, moonlit nights must have persuaded the English to call this place which possiably sums up "nature" and heart of Netarhat. This place is an out of world experience.

The Sunrise and Sunset views are very fascinating here. The tourist bungalow here (Hotel Prabhat Vihar of BSTDC and Palamu Bungalow) are an ideal place for viewing sunrise which is equally picturesque. 10 km off is "Mangolia Point" famous for its stunning view.
