Trikut Hill

Trikut Pahar, Trikut Hills or Trikutachal, is a Hindu pilgrimage site located approximately 15 km from Deoghar, in the Mohanpur Block of Deoghar District, Jharkhand, India, en route to Dumka. Named for its three prominent peaks ("tri-" meaning three), the hill rises to an elevation of 2,470 feet. Revered for its spiritual significance, Trikut Hill attracts devotees and visitors seeking its serene landscapes and panoramic views, making it a cherished natural and cultural landmark in Jharkhand.

A ropeway previously facilitated access to the summit to the top of the hill, but operations were halted following a cable car accident in April 2022 that resulted in three fatalities. Plans to repair and restart the ropeway are underway, although no reopening date has been confirmed. Visitors can currently reach the peak using stairs.

During the monsoon season (July-September), Trikut Pahar is often shrouded in clouds, with seasonal waterfalls and streams accentuating its natural surroundings. From the summit, visitors can enjoy expansive views, including the solar energy installations at Tapovan, (First solar energy hub in Jharkhand) The hill remains an important destination for Hindu pilgrims and tourists, valued for its spiritual heritage and scenic landscape.

Tapovan, which is known for the temple of Taponath Mahadev and Hanuman, is at a distance of 10km from Trikut Hill. River Mayurakshi, which flows through several districts of the state of West Bengal and finally joins River Hooghly, originates from Trikut Hill.
