Sadni Falls

Sadni Falls is a waterfall along the Sankh River in Gumla that drops across multiple levels through a rocky channel. The water follows a winding path as it descends the stone surface.

The region gained attention in earlier centuries for its diamond deposits, which were extracted during medieval times. Mining activity in the area influenced the local landscape and development.

People from nearby villages come to this waterfall for celebrations and to spend time with loved ones. The falls hold meaning in the daily life and gatherings of those living in the surrounding area.

You can reach the falls by taking a bus from Ranchi toward Netarhat and then using local transport for the final distance. The best time to visit is during and shortly after the monsoon season when the water flow is strongest.

The water maintains steady flow throughout the year, keeping the falls alive even during drier months. This reliability makes the site worth visiting at any time of year.
