Ranchi Lake, situated at the base of Ranchi Hill in the Indian state of Jharkhand, is a popular urban recreational spot in the heart of Ranchi city. It was excavated in 1842 by Colonel Onsely, a British agent. The lake enhances the beauty of the city and offers a tranquil environment amidst the hustle and bustle of urban life. Covering a significant area, it provides an ideal spot for boating and picnics. The lake is surrounded by lush greenery and offers a picturesque landscape, particularly when the Ranchi Hill reflects on its calm waters during sunrise and sunset. It is an integral part of the city's heritage and a favorite among locals for early morning walks and family outings. Furthermore, the lake's vicinity to the famous Ranchi Hill offers an opportunity to trek and explore the historic Pahari Mandir, a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva located at the hilltop, offering panoramic views of the city.

Masti and Lake

This is one of the best places to visit in Ranchi. It gives you a much-needed beautiful sunset . At night it gives a beautiful view of light reflection in the lake.
