The Hundru Falls ({{lang-hi|हुन्डरु जलप्रपात}}) is a waterfall located in Ranchi district in the Indian state of Jharkhand. It is the 34th highest waterfall in India.[3] It's one of the most famous tourist place near Ranchi in jharkhand.[4]

The falls

The Hundru Falls is created on the course of the Subarnarekha River, where it falls from a height of {{convert|98|m}} creating one of the highest water falls in the state. The spectacular scene of water falling from such a great height has been described as a sight to behold. The different formations of rock due to the erosion by the constantly falling of water have added to the beauty of the place.[5][6][7]

The Hundru Falls at one of the edges of the Ranchi plateau is one of the several scarp falls in the region.[8] During rainy season it takes a formidable form but in the dry season it turns into an exciting picnic spot.[9] At the base of the Hundru Falls, there is a pool, which serves as a bathing place.[5]

The Hundru Falls is an example of a Knick point caused by rejuvenation. Knickpoint, also called a nick point or simply nick, represents breaks in slopes in the longitudinal profile of a river caused by rejuvenation. The break in channel gradient allows water to fall vertically giving rise to a waterfall.[10]

Transport

It is {{convert|45|km}} from Ranchi, off the Ranchi-Purulia Road. One has to travel some about {{convert|21|km}} from the main road.[7][11]

There is also a Shortcut and simple four-lane road from Ranchi via Ormanjhi via Sikidiri to Hundru. From this road the distance is about {{convert|39|km}} which is about {{convert|6|km}} short from the normal road.

There is also a Suvarna Rekha Hydral Project located down the falls which is also a good place for Tourists.[7]
