Vashisht Temple & hot spring

At a distance of 3 KM from Manali Vashisht temple is located. There is a pair of temples stands opposite to each other. One temple is dedicated to Lord Ram and the other one is to Sage Vashishta, the pattern saint and Lord Ram.

Once upon a time this was a meditation place for Vashishta Maharshi. When Laxman came to take the help of Vashishta muni for Ashwa megha yaga, to warm up the cold place, he fired an arrow to the ground from where hot water spring gushed out. Till now there is a belief that the water here is having medicinal values.

Separate enclosed bathing provision for women is available.

Here guest houses are available for long stay ( one month – to 4 months ) usually preferred by foreign tourists.

From here there is a trek route of 3 KM to Jogini Waterfall.
