Tattapani Spring that Heals

The topography of Himachal Pardesh ranges from the hills in the lower Shivalik valleys to the lofty mountains extending up to the borders of Tibet and Ladhak . This wide difference in altitude from 350 to 6,975 meters above sea level leads to marked variation in the climate at various parts of the state.

Tattapani at a comparatively moderate altitude, offers a variety of attractions, especially to those in search of rest, recreation and soft adventure.

Commence your exploration with a visit to Tattapani 51 km from Shimla and 28 km from Naldera, famous for its 9-hole golf course, set amid picturesque surroundings. Situated on the banks of the Sutlej, at a height of 655 meters Tattapani is famous for its springs whose curative and invigorating properties attract people from far.

The largest of Himachal Pardesh's rivers the Sutlej springs from the Tibetan highlands near the Mansarovar Kailash lake. There is not one but many hot springs all of which get sub-merged when the river waters rise. Like Manikaran in the Parbati valley of Kalka the existence of so many hot springs on the banks of a river with icy cold water is one of Nature's marvels.

In May June the temperature climbs above 35 , although the mornings and evenings are pleasant. For the rest of the year Tattapani has a bracing climate. Sitting by the river, one can enjoy the cool breeze and communicate with nature. At Tattpani don't forget to visit the Shiva caves, 3 km away.
