About Ranchi:
Ranchi, the capital of Jharkhand, sits on a plateau surrounded by forests and small hills. Life in the city moves at its own pace—neither too fast nor too loud. About 40 kilometres away, the road begins to shift. The buildings thin out, and trees take over. As the road winds through Patratu Valley, there’s a quiet that starts to settle in. Eventually, it opens up to Patratu Lake, a large stretch of water held in place by a dam. The lake doesn’t try too hard to impress. It’s just there—wide, still, edged by hills and scattered trees. People come here on weekends or holidays, mostly to take a break, sit by the water, or just be around something open. Some small facilities have come up in recent years, but the place still holds on to its quiet.
About Aqua Cycle Ride at Patratu Lake:
Among the things you can do here, the Aqua Cycle Ride is simple and slow. It’s a pedal-powered float—enough for two people—meant to move gently across the water. The ride lasts about 20 minutes. A life jacket is given, and someone explains how it works before you start. There’s no skill involved, and you don’t have to go far. You just move around in a marked area, close to the surface of the lake. Kayaking also happens here, for those who want something a bit more hands-on. But this ride isn’t really about doing much. It’s more about being on the water for a while, with space around you and not much noise.
