Sahastradhara
सहस्त्रधारा
A sulphur spring waterfall area whose name means “a thousand streams.” Water drips from the cave roofs like rain, and a cable car goes up the hill.
Sahastradhara lies in the Baldi Valley, about 14 kilometers northeast of Dehradun. Sulphur-rich spring water drips from the roofs and cliffs of the limestone caves, forming “a thousand streams.” It is believed to help heal skin conditions, and visitors soak in both natural and artificial pools. The site also has a cable car area up the hill, and there is a bamboo-grove monastery nearby. Entry is free, but the cable car is paid. The site is crowded on summer weekends. It is about 45 kilometers from Rishikesh and can be combined with Robbers’ Cave and Mindrolling Monastery.
