The Twin Forts of Palamu
BOOKMARK
Deep in the jungles of the Palamu tiger reserve in Jharkhand lie the remains of the lost kingdom of Cheros. Once inaccessible due to the Naxal menace, the twin forts of Palamu, with secrets lodged in the fissures of their ruins, tell the story of a powerful kingdom that very few outside Jharkhand have heard of.
Located around 20 miles south-east of tourist pit-stop Daltonganj (now Medininagar), are the Twin Forts of Palamu, the seat of the kingdom of the Chero tribe, which ruled the region for 200 years.
