Ghatshila is famous for its beautiful picnic spots and tourist spots scattered around the entire area. Some must-visits from the list are-

Phuldungri Pahar:

Within a minimal distance of only 3km, Phuldungri Pahar is a wonderful spot for adventure lovers. It has many beautiful hiking trails, and once you reach the top, the views are amazing.

Burudih Lake:

If you just drive 10 km from our resort, you’ll find yourself baffled by the great scenic beauty of Burudih Lake. Surrounded by hills, the crystal clear lake is an ideal destination for travelers looking for tranquility and peace. The local stalls in the area serve delicious Deshi Chicken Kasha which is both mouth-watering and soul-soothing.

Dharagiri Falls:

Amid rocky hills and jungle, lies a beautiful stream of clear water. The melodies of the falling water, chirping birds, and the forest wind are the best soundtrack you’ll ever put your ears to. You are right if you guessed Dharagiri Falls. It is only 14 km from our resort and is easily accessible.

Rankini Mata Mandir:

The famous yet mysterious Rankini Mandir is less than 25 km from our resort. Sitting in the lap of nature, the temple is a vibrant feast to the eyes. A spiritual day out to Rankini Mata Mandir will ease your mind.
