Netarhat Bus Ride – A Journey Through Nature & Camaraderie

The journey to Netarhat, arranged by the Jharkhand Photographic Association (JPA) to celebrate World Photography Day, was nothing short of mesmerizing.

As our bus meandered through the serpentine hilly routes of Latehar district, the scenery outside was captivating – dense jungles of Sal, Pine, and Mahua trees framed by deep valleys and vibrant landscapes. Tribal melodies played softly in the background, adding an earthy charm to the ride.

Inside the bus, the atmosphere was just as lively. Fellow photographers engaged in friendly chatter, shared jokes, and even sang melodious tunes. Some tapped rhythms on makeshift instruments, while a few couldn’t resist dancing in the aisle, turning the ride into a festive prelude to our photographic adventure.

A heartfelt moment came when JPA members served us a delightful roadside breakfast of Dhuska with crispy, syrup-soaked Jalebis, making the journey even more memorable. Acts of courtesy, like offering seats to fellow members, highlighted the spirit of camaraderie.

The semi-deluxe bus, though non-AC, kept us comfortable as the cool breeze of Netarhat embraced us. Our skilled driver navigated the challenging, circuitous roads with expertise, often evoking goosebumps among passengers with his precision.

On reaching Netarhat by lunchtime, we were treated to a hearty meal of rice, fish curry, paneer, and salad—prepared and served with homely warmth. Later, a relaxing siesta gave way to an evening of introductions, photography talks, and an awe-inspiring session on Light Painting, setting the tone for the adventures that awaited us the next day.
