Places to visit in one day in Ranchi by private car
Here are the popular tourist places to visit in Ranchi in one day on your private sightseeing tour by cab.
1. Jagannath Temple
Jagannath Temple is one of the most visited religious landmarks in Ranchi. It’s a 17th-century temple dedicated to Lord Jagannath. And unlike most temples in India, where idols are made of clay or stone, the idol here is made of wood. The temple is inspired by the original Jagannath Temple in Puri, but the complex is smaller in comparison.
It’s well-known for its traditional Kalinga style of architecture, which features beautiful carvings and colourful stones. The temple is built on top of a small hillock, offering mesmerising views of Ranchi amidst a serene and spiritual environment.
Must See / Things to Do: Climb the stairs to the top and enjoy stunning city views.
2. Pahari Mandir
Pahari Mandir is another temple on a hillock in Ranchi. The name literally means the temple on the hill. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, and it’s a significant site for his worshipers. Devotees believe that it has a divine power that grants their wishes.
Even though the temple has over 400 steps to climb, it’s filled with devotees throughout the day. Hordes of devotees visit the temple every year during the Shravana month (around July-August) of the Hindu calendar. The stunning bird’s-eye view of Ranchi from the top also makes the visit worth the effort.

Surrounded by lush greenery, it’s a perfect spot for nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts alike.

It houses many artistic sculptures and intricate artwork made from rocks, stones and pebbles. Various human and animal figurines, along with abstract stone art, can be found at this place. It’s a beautiful amalgamation of nature and art.
