Southern Hazirabagh Range

The southern Hazaribagh uplands form part of the Chotanagpur plateau, a broken landscape of wooded ridges, plateaus and river valleys. The Hazaribagh plateau acts as a watershed between the Damodar drainage to the south and rivers flowing north towards the Ganges. Its southern edge is cut by steep slopes and projecting hills, separating the higher tableland from the lower country. Forests and streams cover the rugged approaches between the plateau and neighbouring valleys.
