At Netarhat, a paradise which is hidden away in the lap of beautiful forests and located at an elevation of 3,622 feet above sea level in the Latehar district, the Jharkhand government intends to encourage eco and cultural tourism and plans to make it a successful ecotourism site.

Naterhat Location:
Netarhat, a picturesque hill town in Jharkhand's Latehar district, is around 157 kilometers from Ranchi.
Homestays:

Planning:
The villagers that sign up for the homestay programme have their homes painted in tribal tones like cream and white to give them a unique identity. The first phase involves painting 40 homes that will participate in the homestay program in Paseripat. All the residents of Paseripat & Sirsi villages have consented to participate in the homestay programme. In the 2nd phase, 83 houses in Sirsi will be painted.
The district administration has provided training in hospitality and catering to about 100 Netarhat youngsters, and many of the village's residents have worked in restaurants and hotels, hence they have a little bit of prior experience in hospitality.
