If you want to stay in the jungle environment, there is one option 4 km from Babil - Saranda Safari Resort.
However, one of the best accommodations of Saranda is the Meghalaya Guest House of SAIL at Meghatuburu, which is just located below the view point.
•Also few homstays have come up at Meghatuburu.

The Kolhan estate, which embraces the forests of Saranda Division, was formerly the property of the Raja of Porhat, then Knows as the Raja of Singhbhum. It was placed under the management of Government in the year 1836. The first settlement took place in the following year. Subsequent settlements were made in the years of 1855, 1867, 1897 and 1918. The forests were reserved in 1882. Prior to reservation the upper and steeper slopes of the forests were subjected to extensive “Jhuming “ or “ Shifting” cultivation, while on the lower slopes and level lands “gora” or dry cultivatiom was practiced.The first investigation into the question of reserving forests in Chhotanagpur was sponsored by Dr. Anderson, the Conservator of Forests, Bengal in 1864. An area of 1,99,740 acres, as originally estimated was notified under section 4 of Indian Forest Act 1878 on 26th November ,1880 and was finally declared on 17th May,1882 reserved forest under section 19 , but with effect from the 1st April 1889.Although Saranda was notified as a reserve with effect from 1882 and the demarcation was reported as complete in 1882, parts of the boundaries long remain uncertain. The notification specified the boundaries here as the common border of Singhbhum with that of the states of Keonhjar , Bonai and Gangpur. The Sate boundaries however were not clearly marked on the ground. The Keonjhar boundary, for instance, was not finally demarcated till 1899. Uncertainties regarding the correct boundaries of these forests continued in varying degrees until the forest survey of 1903 finally clarified the position. A small dispute on the Bonai State border involving 166 acres was settled in favor of Saranda in 1912.


TERRAIN & GEOMORPHOLOGY
Terrain is undulating with lofty peaks between 200 meters and 900 meters. The highest point in this hill range was 927 meters in a series of charming gentle undulations which is now the seat of two massive Iron Ore projects, namely Kiriburu project and Meghahatuburu project.
CLIMATE & RAIN FALL
The temperature ranges from 11º C in December and January and up to 41º C in April & May. The Annual rainfall ranges from 1400 mm to 2500 mm. There is usual three seasons- the hot, rainy and cold. During days in hot weather may well become hot enough but as soon as the sun sets, it suddenly starts cooling. The chief reason being that the thickly forested land cannot absorb much heat of the sun and so consequently it has little to radiate after sun-set. The rainy season starts by the middle of June and continuous towards middle of September, but pre-monsoon thunder showers usually occur from about the middle of April. These pre-monsoon showers are a boon to the Sal forests because Sal fruits ripen during this period and viability of the seed being very short, it gets sufficient moist soil to germinate itself. In most years, a short spell of winter rains about December-January. The cold weather extends from the beginning of November to end of February. Winter can be severe and is characterized by very heavy dews which are found to be dripping sometimes in the morning from the trees leaves.
