What we know

A granite dome about 280 m high on the Jharkhand border, with bolted slab routes of up to seven pitches from 2021 and boulders at the base. Ask locally about permission before you climb.

This is a smaller area. It has few climbs or little written down. Do not expect a guide, pad rental or a place to stay for climbers. Go with someone who knows the place, and check access before you travel.
