Ranchi became the capital of Jharkhand when the state was formed in 2000, and it had long served as the summer seat of the Bihar government because of its milder climate. The region's coal and iron ore sustain public-sector firms such as Central Coalfields and the Heavy Engineering Corporation, both headquartered here. Visitors come for the waterfalls where the Subarnarekha and its tributaries drop off the plateau, the hilltop Jagannath Temple, tribal culture and the lakes around the city.
Main Road, Lalpur and the area around Firayalal Chowk are central for a short stay, while Kanke and Morabadi are quieter. There is no metro; app cabs, auto-rickshaws and city buses cover the city. The 4.18 km Ratu Road elevated corridor, inaugurated in July 2025, has eased the drive from the centre towards Ratu and the north-western suburbs. The airport is only about 5 km from the centre, so late-evening arrivals are easy. For the waterfalls, hire a car for the day, since public transport to Hundru, Dassam and Jonha is sparse and the roads wind through forest.
October to March is the best time to visit, and the waterfalls are fullest just after the monsoon in September and October, when the paths can be slippery. Summers are milder than on the Gangetic plains, but May can still pass 40°C. The Jagannath Temple holds its own Rath Yatra in June or July, and the tribal festivals of Sarhul in spring and Karma in late summer bring dancing to villages across the region. Swimming below the falls is dangerous; stay at the marked viewing points. Hundru and Dassam both involve several hundred steps down to the base, so wear good shoes.
October to March, with days of about 10-28°C. The waterfalls are fullest from August to October.

Kolkata was the capital of British India until 1911, and its port, jute trade and publishing houses made it the commercial centre of the east. It opened the country's first metro in 1984, and College Street remains one of the largest second-hand book markets in India. Visitors come for the Victoria Memorial, the ghats along the Hooghly, Bengali sweets and fish, and above all for Durga Puja in autumn, which UNESCO added to its intangible cultural heritage list in 2021.
Park Street and the streets around Esplanade suit a short trip, with New Market, the Maidan and the Victoria Memorial close by; Salt Lake and New Town are nearer the airport and the IT offices. The Blue Line metro is the fastest way north and south, and the Green Line now crosses the river to Howrah. Yellow Ambassador taxis still run on the meter alongside app cabs.
November to February brings dry, mild days. Durga Puja falls in September or October; during the five main days, roads near the large pandals close to traffic, hotel rates rise and flights fill early. Kali Puja and Diwali follow a few weeks later. Heavy monsoon showers from June to September can leave streets waterlogged. The Victoria Memorial museum is closed on Mondays. Expect long queues at Kalighat and Dakshineswar on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and leave footwear at the counters outside.
