Khirganga Hot Springs sits in the Parvati Valley, Himachal Pradesh, above 2,900 meters and reachable only by trekking. Sulfurous water emerges at 42°C in an open-air pool popular with hikers.
Insider tip — Khirganga sits at 3,050 m in the Parvati Valley, a full-day trek from Barshaini through dense cedar forest. The sulfurous pools overlook a sweeping Himalayan panorama and are revered by Shaivite pilgrims as sacred to Lord Shiva. Arrive before noon to claim a spot before the evening chill sets in. The trek itself gains 1,000 m of elevation, so acclimatize at Kasol first.
