This natural hot spring is a must-visit for those seeking relaxation and spiritual connection. Explore the serene surroundings and rejuvenate your body and soul.
Insider tip — Near Joshimath at the foot of the Auli ski slopes, these sulfurous springs emerge at the confluence of snow-melt streams with geothermally heated groundwater. The contrast between icy mountain air and warm mineral water is sharpest from November to March when snow blankets the surrounding Garhwal peaks. Access requires a short trek through oak and rhododendron forest. Local guides recommend soaking at dusk when the Nanda Devi range turns amber.
