Ranchi. Hazaribagh is a
hill station nestled in the Chhotanagpur Plateau, at a height of 2,019
feet. It is the divisional headquarters of the North Chhotanagpur division and is also known as the ‘'City of Thousand Gardens'’. This name has its origins from the groves or baghs that
were the camping grounds for travellers since the 1700s. The scenic
beauty, excellent climate and thickly forested area have made this town
a well known health resort. The dense forest in the surrounding region
has been converted into the Hazaribagh National Park
where a variety of animals and different species of flora are conserved
in their natural habitat. The entire area is covered with Sal trees
with the Damodar River flowing through it, and a backdrop of hills lending a serene atmosphere to the place. |
