McCluskieganj: A Place to Remind the Colonial Past

My visit to McCluskieganj was quite refreshing after the constant lockdown and continuing Work from Home in Ranchi, the town where I live now. The distance between Ranchi and McCluskieganj is around 70 KMs.

Place to Stay, there are others besides this

I was accompanied by my two colleagues from Amity University Jharkhand on 17th January 2021. The place appeared to be a space where time can be revisited, the colonial times. The legacy of Britishers was visible everywhere. It was an Anglo-Indian colony before. Now it is a tourist spot with new constructions built by the tourism department, Government of Jharkhand.

The greenary around was quite fascinating. Three of us walked down the road amidst the jungle. We enjoyed the scenic views of the place.










If you are in Jharkhand, you must visit McCluskieganj. The name is enough to tell the story - McCluskie + ganj, Anglo + Indian name!
