Manikaran

Another popular sightseeing place in Kasol is Manikaran. Thanks to the gurudwara on the banks of the river Parvati, it is often visited by both Hindus and Sikhs as a place of religious interest. There are also temples here for Rama, Krishna and Vishnu. There are several religious legends attached to this place which is why many people visit it. However, tourists also come here for the many geothermal hot springs in the area. The hot springs here are also considered to be sacred and people cook the offerings to God in these very hot springs. Pilgrims come here and bathe in the hot springs as part of the rituals associated with visiting Manikaran.
