Netarhat Sunrise Point

Netarhat Sunrise Point is a prominent hill viewpoint in Netarhat, Latehar district, Jharkhand, situated on the Chota Nagpur Plateau at about 1,071 metres elevation. Known as the Queen of Chotanagpur, Netarhat is a forested hill station, and this point offers panoramic sunrise views over layered hills, valleys and dense forests. It is a key attraction for visitors staying overnight to witness dawn light spreading across the plateau landscape.

Visitors can expect an open hilltop viewpoint with a paved viewing area and railings overlooking forested valleys and rolling hills of the Chota Nagpur Plateau. The site is visited primarily before dawn to watch the sunrise illuminate the landscape. Surroundings are pine forests and plateau terrain with cool morning air. There are no major structures except the viewpoint platform, seating and parking area. Photography and sightseeing are the main activities.

Netarhat was developed as a hill station during the British colonial period due to its cool climate and plateau location, and later promoted as a tourist and educational centre in Jharkhand. The Sunrise Point was established as a designated scenic viewpoint to showcase the plateau's dawn landscape and has remained a central attraction of the hill station.

The viewpoint is part of Netarhat's identity as the 'Queen of Chotanagpur' and is culturally valued as a communal gathering place for sunrise viewing, celebrated in Jharkhand tourism for its natural scenery and tranquil hill station atmosphere.
