Netarhat in June
Jharkhand, India
Monsoon mud makes the single access road nearly impassable without heavy-duty 4WD vehicles
June monsoon reaches Netarhat and transforms the brown plateau into green — but the single road from Ranchi (155km) starts deteriorating, and this remote spot has no fallback if you get stuck.
