Usri Falls

Usri Falls is a waterfall on the Usri River, a tributary of the Barakar River, located about 13 km east of Giridih town in Giridih district, Jharkhand. The falls drop about 12 metres in three separate streams surrounded by dense forest and rocky terrain at the foot of Parasnath Hills. Known for its scenic natural setting and seasonal flow, it is a popular picnic and sightseeing destination, especially during and after the monsoon season.

Visitors can expect a natural waterfall setting where the Usri River drops about 12 metres in three separate cascades over rocky cliffs into pools below. The site is surrounded by dense forest, boulders and scrub vegetation at the foothills of Parasnath Hills. There are rocky viewing areas near the base and top of the falls for sightseeing and photography. The area is primarily an open natural site used for picnicking and nature walks, with basic local stalls nearby.

Usri Falls is located in the Giridih area which developed as a health resort during the British period. The falls are locally associated with visits by poet Rabindranath Tagore who spent part of his childhood in Giridih.

The falls serve as a popular recreational and picnic destination for local communities in Giridih district, especially during winter months and local holiday seasons.
