The word Parasnath comes from the 23rd Jain Tirthankara Shri Parshwanath Bhagwan. Parasnath hills are a range of small to medium size hills (highest peak 1,382 metres (4,534 ft) as per Survey of India site - www.surveykshan.gov.in/ ) and are located in Jharkhand state, eastern India. They make up the highest peak in Jharkhand state.
It is an exotic place to visit with innumerable temples, shrines and meditation halls in the midst of natural scenery and wildlife. The Parasnath Hills (Madhuban) can be reached by train or by road from Giridih or Parasnath Station. Both the Jain Svetambara and Digambar sects have established their Dharamshalas or Ashrams here to accommodate the pilgrims to this the second most holy place for Jains from all over the world. One can stay in hotel Bhuvan located in Ishri Bazaar(1 km from Parasnath Railway Station).
