Tattapani
A sulphur hot-spring town on the Sutlej River, where you can soak in public baths or join river rafting trips.
Tattapani means 'hot water'. Located on the Sutlej River about 50 km northwest of Shimla, it has long been known for its sulphur hot springs, which are believed to have healing properties. After the Kol Dam was built downstream and its reservoir submerged most of the original riverbank springs, the hot spring water was channelled to the town's public baths and hotel pools for visitors to soak in. Visitors can join Sutlej River rafting, and the Makar Sankranti festival in January to February features a bathing fair. The mountain road winds, and the one-way trip takes about 2 hours. It can be reached via Naldehra.
