Waterfall
It is located on the Burha River, deep in the forest of the Latehar district the Chota Nagpur Plateau.[4] The Lodh Falls is a tiered waterfall with multiple distinct drops in a relatively close succession. It is 143 metres (469 ft) high.[5] The thundering sound of the fall is audible even 10 km away.[6]
The Lodh Falls is an example of a nick point caused by rejuvenation. Knick point, also called a nick point or simply nick, represents breaks in slopes in the longitudinal profile of a river caused by rejuvenation. The break in channel gradient allows water to fall vertically giving rise to a waterfall.[7]
