Ask anyone living in Ranchi which part of the city feels the most calming, and the same three names keep coming up. The capital of Jharkhand has a handful of colonies that look as if they were laid out with real patience and planning. The roads, parks, gyms and clubs all sit exactly where they should, and a deep sense of quiet runs through the whole area. These three standout spots are Sail City Colony, several sectors of Dhurva, and Vrindavan Colony.
Vrindavan Colony: Calm at the Foot of the Hills
Of the three, Vrindavan Colony is the one whose beauty grabs you first. The moment you step in, a stunning view of the hills opens up behind you. Settled right at the foot of these hills, the colony is so pretty that residents step out for their morning and evening walks surrounded by these very views. There is greenery on every side and a stillness so complete that people never feel the need to travel anywhere else just to relax.
The biggest convenience for those who live here is that everything from an ATM to the market to a gym is available inside the colony itself. In other words, every essential is within walking distance. That is perhaps why so many people still dream of building a home in this very colony, and if you visit, you will spot several houses still under construction.
The Sectors of Dhurva: A Home in the Middle of a Forest
Next come the many sectors of Dhurva. Step in here and it feels as though the houses have been built in the middle of a forest. There are so many trees, plants and so much greenery around the homes that such a sight is rare to find these days. Because it was developed by the government, it is thoroughly planned, and here too you will find everything from a club to a hospital.
On top of that, Dhurva also has a dam. In the evenings people come here to walk, and the view is so captivating that some travel 15 kilometres on a scooter just for an evening stroll.
Sail City Colony: A Perfect Spot Amid the Greenery
The third place is Sail City Colony. This colony even has a DPS school within it. Nestled in greenery, it is considered absolutely perfect when it comes to peace and quiet.
