Jharkhand’s capital, Ranchi was once the summer capital of Bihar under the British – set on a plateau at about 700m, it’s marginally cooler than the plains. For travellers there’s not a lot of interest in the city and it’s not really on the way to anywhere – the only real reason for landing here is to transit to Betla National Park, or to tour the surrounding waterfalls.
There’s a tourist office (2310230; 5 Main Rd; 10am-5pm Mon-Sat) at the Birsa Vihar tourist complex, and a HDFC ATM across the road. The State Bank of India (Main Rd; 10am-3.30pm Mon-Fri) changes cash and travellers cheques. Check email at the i-way Internet Café (Station Rd; per hr Rs 25; 9am-9pm) next to Hotel Embassy.
