Lower Ghaghri Falls, Cascading waterfall in Latehar district, India.

Lower Ghaghri Falls is a waterfall in Latehar district, Jharkhand, fed by the Ghaghri River as it drops over rocky ledges into dense forest below. The water flows year-round and collects in a rocky pool surrounded by trees and undergrowth on all sides.

The falls were shaped over generations by the flow of the Ghaghri River and long served as a natural landmark in this forested part of central India. Latehar became a separate district in 2001, which brought the area under a new administrative structure without changing its natural features.

The falls lie on the Ghaghri River, a tributary of the Auranga, and the forest around them is described as so dense that sunlight struggles to pierce it. The sound of the water dropping 320 feet (98 m) in cascade carries through the surrounding woods. Visitors reach the site from Netarhat, 10 km away in Latehar district.

The falls are accessible from Netarhat via a forest path that can be steep and uneven, so sturdy footwear is strongly advised. The ground near the pool gets slippery after rain, so extra care is needed on the final approach.

Lower Ghaghri Falls is the 33rd highest waterfall in India, dropping 320 feet (98 m) in a cascade on the Ghaghri River, a tributary of the Auranga. The Upper Ghaghri Falls, by contrast, is a smaller fall 4 km from Netarhat below Netarhat Dam, so the two are separate falls on the same river rather than one directly beneath the other.
