The Hundru Falls is created on the course of the Subarnarekha River, where it falls from a height of 98 metres (322 ft) creating one of the highest water falls in the state.

The different formations of rock due to the erosion by the constantly falling of water have added to the beauty of the place.[5][6][7]
The Hundru Falls at one of the edges of the Ranchi plateau is one of the several scarp falls in the region.[8] During rainy season it takes a formidable form but in the dry season it turns into an exciting picnic spot.[9] At the base of the Hundru Falls, there is a pool, which serves as a bathing place.[5]
