The Vashisht Hot Water Springs, also known as Vashisht Kund, are natural hot springs located on the banks of the Beas River in Manali, Himachal Pradesh. The springs are in the Vashisht Ashram, surrounded by pine trees and sandstone temples. The springs are divided into two tanks, one for men and one for women, and have stone walls for privacy.
The springs are believed to have therapeutic properties and contain minerals that may help with skin conditions and rheumatism. Some say the springs are natural sulfur waters that contain radioactive elements and particulate metals that can cure skin diseases. The Vashisht Temple, which is next to the springs, is thought to be over 4,000 years old.
The spot is home to a renowned night market. So if you are unable to shop during the day, you can instead go for a nighttime stroll. After a strenuous walk, you may unwind at the restaurants and cafes here while sipping your favorite beverage or grabbing delectable local cuisines.
