Named after the great poet Rabindranath Tagore, Tagore Hill is the perfect spot to admire the city from. It is said that Tagore used to frequently visit these hills in order to enjoy the solitude and write his books. Situated at a height of about 300 feet, it is famous for adventure sports like rock climbing and trekking. As it is located away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it is an ideal spot for family picnics as well.
Visitors have to climb around 200-250 stairs in order to reach the top. Once you reach the top, the view of the distant mountains is unrivaled. Visitors can also enjoy a bird’s eye view of Ranchi from the top of the hill. The lush greenery surrounding the hill also adds to its beauty. Not to mention, the breathtaking sunsets that can be enjoyed from up there. At the base of the hills is the famous Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama, along with the Agrarian Vocational Institute and a center for Divyayan.
Location: Near Albert Ekka Chowk, 4 km towards the north of Ranchi.
Best Time to Visit: Winter months of October to February, when the weather is pleasant.
It is recommended that you visit early in the morning or late in the evening in order to enjoy the sunrise and sunset respectively.
