Patratu

Patratu is a census town in Patratu of Ramgarh district in the Indian state of Jharkhand. The Patratu Dam, 30 km from Ramgarh and 35 km from Ranchi, supplies water to Ramgarh cantonment area as well as the main reservoir of Patratu Thermal Power Plant. The dam has huge capacity and if given a facelift, would definitely attract tourists from different areas. The first step would be to woo tourists from the state, and once all the facilities were in place, to attract tourists from the rest of the country.

Patratu Valley is adorned with rich vegetation, lush green trees, red and violet flowers. The humming honey bees adds splendor to the scenic beauty of this place. The hills stretching along the Pithouria-Patratu are worth watching. The green saal, sakhuwa and bamboos with flowers adorn the Patratu Valley. The jingle of waterfalls and the small streams of water rushing through the stones is a spectacular sight for the tourists.
