Dassam Falls - The magnificent waterfall very near to Ranchi

River, the Kanchi, a tributary of the Subarnarekha has formed Dassam Falls here in a dense forest at Taimara Village near about 44 Km to Ranchi, Jharkhand. The State itself is called the land of forest. Somewhere it has been found too thick to accessible. It is falling from 144 Mt. height. The village people get their livelihood   mostly from this forest.

During the monsoon, it becomes gorgeous. The air has been filled with it’s heavy sound.  Adventure enthusiasts are requested not to step in on the rock and take bath. This falls are not suitable for taking bath. Nobody knows when the river carries huge water in full swing and drowned away. 

Winter is the best season to be visited there. The water comes clean. The sky becomes clear and Several Eye-catching birds fly round the corner. Please carry sufficient water and Lunch packet. No such restaurant available there. Snacks are being sold by the local people.  It becomes a favorite Picnic Spot during winter. 

We visited this year in February and obviously the waterfall has been dried. But the entire forest made us mesmerized. The roads are well maintained. But the Government has not yet started their own transport system. Private vehicles are the only mode of transportation. Tourists are requested to arrange their own transport or hire from the hotel where they lodge in.

Few other places  like The Sun Temple, Hundru Waterfall and Jonha Waterfall can also be visited along with this trip. But it should be confirmed with the operator/driver prior starting to the journey.
