==Falls==
In its bid to find its way through the hard and jagged terrain, the Banai River branches itself out in five different streams, generating ubiquitous singing rivulets through the cluster of rocks. Unlike [[Jonha Falls|Jonha]] and [[Hundru Falls]], Panchghagh's water does not fall from great heights. Still, one can almost hear the roar of the water when one arrives near it, because all the five branched-out and swirling streams hit the rocks in a very turbulent manner. It's a treat to watch and hear.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Panchghagh Falls – Khunti, Jharkhand|url=https://www.jharkhandfeed.com/panchghagh-falls-khunti-jharkhand/|date=9 January 2018|website=Jharkhand Feed|language=en-US|access-date=6 May 2020}}</ref>

In spite of the presence of a large number of high waterfalls in the area, the Panchghagh Falls are a tourists preference for being viewed as the safest of all. The water falls from a lesser height, making it safe for tourists to enjoy in the rapid flow of water. Most of the people arrive here for picnic with family and friends.

==Transport==
