Netarhat
Sunrise
Point
is
the
place
where
your
heart
dons
wings..
as
a
bird
set
free
from
the
urban
dungeons,
it
soars
over
hills
and
vales,
tapping
the
rhythm
of
the
wild
hilly
rivulets.
It
leaps
way
ahead
of
your
head
transporting
you
along
on
its
flights
of
fancy.
While
in
Netarhat,
if
you
want
to
enjoy
the
most
spectacular
view
of
the
rising
sun,
it
has
to
be
the
sunrise
point
in
front
of
the
tourist
bungalow,
Hotel
Prabhat
Vihar.
It
is
located
at
a
distance
of
half
to
one
km
from
the
Netarhat
bus
stand.
As
you
wait
in
anticipation
for
that
memorable
rendezvous
with
the
sun,
you
suddenly
observe
the
hills
and
trees
appearing
as
dark
silhouettes
against
the
clearing
horizon.
Even
the
moonrise
seen
on
full
moon
nights
from
here
is
a
long
cherished
experience.
Needless
to
say,
the
Netarhat
Plateau
on
the
upper
was,
โNear
to
the
Heartโ
of
the
erstwhile
British
soldiers
too,
that
reminded
them
of
their
Scottish
moors
back
home.
Dense
forests,
serpentine
roads,
cool
bracing
breeze,
nights
may
have
probably
prevailed
upon
the
English
to
christen
the
place
as
Natureโs
heart
or
Netarhat.
However,
some
argue
that
the
place
has
been
named
after
Netarhat
which
means
a
marketplace
for
bamboo
in
the
local
language.
Located
at
about
3622
feet
high
in
Latehar
District
about
156
kms
West
of
Ranchi,
it
was
once
the
summer
retreat
of
the
British
Governor.
