Betla National Park

Betla National Park, National park in Jharkhand, India

Betla National Park is a protected area in Jharkhand with dense sal forests, extensive bamboo groves, and open grasslands along the North Koel River. The terrain includes forested hills, shallow valleys, and several water sources that attract wildlife during the dry season.

During the 16th century, the Chero Kings built two fortresses within what is now the park area, serving as centers of power. The larger of these fortifications stands near Betla and reaches roughly 400 feet (122 meters) on a hilltop ridge.

Local tribal communities maintain their traditional practices around the park area, contributing to the preservation of indigenous knowledge and customs.

Access begins at Betla village, roughly 25 kilometers south of Medininagar and 170 kilometers northwest of Ranchi. Trails and safari tracks run through different forest sections, with wildlife more active at sunrise and late afternoon.

Kamaldah Lake sits within the park grounds and draws numerous water birds during migration seasons, including cotton teal, knob-billed ducks, and several goose species. Observers can view the birds from the shoreline, where migratory species gather to rest and feed.
