FAQs about Ranchi to Netarhat cab
How long is the cab journey from Ranchi to Netarhat?
Around 4 hours 30 minutes for the 156 km drive via Lohardaga. The last 40 km of forested ghat road takes nearly 90 minutes.

Not really — 9 hours of driving for a few hours of sightseeing. We strongly recommend a 2-day, 1-night package to enjoy both sunset and sunrise points.

We avoid driving the last 40 km of forested ghat after dark. Aim to reach Netarhat before 6 PM in winter and 7 PM in summer.
