I went to this tourist attraction with my uncle just a month ago.The Gonda hill is situated 9 kms north of Ranchi and 4 kms from Albert Ekka Chowk, on the Kanke road. The serene hill with a water reservoir at its top, Kanke lake and dam at its foot and a rock garden carved out of the rocks is an ideal place for a picnic. The rock garden has several structures or statues made of granite, waterfalls and a swing made of iron bar, which has only two poles.
On its foothills there is a Mental Asylum, one of the largest in the country designed by the British with a view that the cooler environment would be helpful for psychological health. The Gondawana House, Head quarter of the Central Mine Planning & Design Institute Limited(CMPDIL) is located in front of the hill. It is one of the best place to see the historical built and amazing artifacts.
