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.

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.
