Usri Falls

The untamed River Usri, gushes down from the Parasnath hill, about 40 feet high in three separate streams. It is located about 14 km away from east of Giridih Town. The National Highway 34 from Dhanbad to Giridih, branches in through a valley to rise up on a hill, midst a forest of Sal trees. Trailing this green forest road, you reach down slope, reaching the base of the falls. This is in the form of a broad stony surface, nearly 100 feet wide. The flow of the water in powerful torrents has sculpted the rocks and boulders in various shapes and sizes. They help you to balance your way in the midst of the waterfalls and bathe in its beauty.

It is hard to resist the rocks, laced by wild greenery and flowers growing in abandon coupled with the foamy and frothy waters that surge forth to greet you. Not to forget, there is also a watch tower which provides a wide view of the falls, till the southern hills of Parasnath. It is a favourite picnic spot, which is thronged by the revelers during Christmas and New Year.
