City in the lap of Nature

A small city in Jharkhand, on the bank of river Koel, rich in natural resources and flora and fauna. The city flaunts the Betla National Park (erstwhile Palamu Tiger Reserve) one among few tiger reserves in the country. There are also some must visit places nearby like Chianki Pahadi Mandir, Palamu Fort, Malay Dam, Satbarwa, Sugabandh, Mandal Dam etc.

Daltonganj is a more developing town among the towns of the jharkhand state. it is also known as Medininagar. it is basically, located on the palamu division in the district of palamu. it is 18th centuries established town in palamu district.

presently, Daltonganj is not the safe place to freely move in the town. according to news reports many crimes have been committed in around a day. law & order system is almost dead.

A City from history
Jul 30, 2015 10:16 PM8563 Views

Daltonganj got its name afetr Edward Dalton, who was the district commissioner of this area.It is a city in Jharkhand.


I visited this place during a marriage of a friend.We took train from Kolkata and got down at Daltonganj.


Their is no direct train to daltonganj, few trains from kolkata goes via Daltonganj and give a stopage for 5-10 min maximum.The city has a touch of both modern city and old city.The city has both shopping mall and old old monuments.


We have gone there in the month of March for seven days.We visited few historical places and the famous Betla National Park.We visited Palamau Fort in Aurangabad .The forts are between the forest.The fort are in very bad condition .Belta National park is famous for tigers.The park also has bears, wolf, jackal and hyena.The park is a great place but needs some maintenance.


Hanuman temple is also a nice place to visit which is located in the center of daltonganj main market.


The place is best to visit in March as it gets too hot in the month of summer.The places are need serious maintenance specially the forts.


People who are living nearby the states should visit this place. Belta national park is a must visit place for people who loves wild live photography and loves nature.
