Lodh Falls / Budha Ghagh (लोध जलप्रपात)

About Lodh Falls — Nature's Untamed Wonder

Tucked away in the pristine wilderness of Mahuadanr valley in Latehar district, Lodh Falls (also revered as Budha Ghagh Falls) is the undisputed king of Jharkhand's waterfalls. Plummeting down multiple rocky tiers from an astounding height of 143 meters (469 feet), the sound of the cascading Burha River echoes through the dense Sal and Mahua forests for over 10 kilometers.

Unlike congested tourist spots, Lodh Falls offers raw, untamed natural serenity. The surrounding hills and misty air give visitors an unforgettable feeling of being in an untouched paradise.
