Hazaribagh
A thousand gardens, a forested plateau
Hazaribagh — literally 'a thousand gardens' — sits on the Chotanagpur plateau at 2,000 ft and is gentler than Netarhat in pace, climate and crowds. The town wraps around Hazaribagh Lake, with the Canary Hill viewpoint above and the Hazaribagh National Park (40 km) for sambar, leopard and nilgai sightings.
