Topchanchi Lake


Topchanchi Lake is a beautiful man-made reservoir nestled amidst the rolling green hills and flanked by the Parasnath Hills. Spanning 214 acres, this beautiful lake is a popular tourist destination offering a serene escape into nature. Created in 1915 by damming a stream, Topchanchi Lake was initially the primary water source for Jharia. Today, it supplies water to Dhanbad and its suburbs. More importantly, it lies at the heart of the Topchanchi Wildlife Sanctuary, a haven for diverse flora and fauna. The lake's tranquil ambience makes it the ideal spot to relax and unwind. Breathe in the fresh air, listen to the gentle lapping of water against the shore, and soak in the picturesque surroundings.

Bhatinda Falls


Bhatinda Falls, also known as Moonidih Falls, is a scenic waterfall enveloped by verdant greenery and rugged hills. The cascading waters create a mesmerising scene, attracting nature enthusiasts and those looking for a quick retreat from city life. A popular picnic spot, Bhatinda Falls offers plenty of flat areas around the falls where families and groups can unwind, enjoy meals, and take in the natural beauty. Although swimming is not encouraged due to the rocky landscape, visitors can paddle in the shallow pools or simply revel in the scenic splendour of the falls. Additionally, the area is perfect for hiking and exploring the natural surroundings.
 

Shakti Mandir


Shakti Mandir, a prominent landmark and source of pride for Dhanbad, is dedicated to Goddess Durga. Known for its serene atmosphere and the sacred Akhand Jyoti, an eternal flame believed to be brought from the Vaishno Devi shrine, the temple is particularly auspicious to visit on Tuesdays, Fridays, and during major festivals like Diwali and Dussehra. This beautiful white marble temple features a balcony and greets visitors with the calming sounds of chants and hymns. The main idol of Goddess Durga is depicted majestically, seated on a lion and slaying the demon Mahishasura. Conveniently located in the heart of the city on Jhorapathak Road, the temple is easily accessible by auto rickshaw or cab. Including a visit to this temple in your Dhanbad tour plan will surely add a spiritual and cultural dimension to your trip.

Set against the tranquil backdrop of Panchet Hill, the dam offers a striking visual spectacle.
