Manikaran is 85 km. from Manali. Manikaran lies in the Parvati valley of Kullu district. The spring are situated near the bank of Parbati river. These are confined to several groups of hot water springs emerging at various locations spreading upto a distance of about 1.3 kms. along the river from the old bridge to Brahmaganga. The springs at Manikaran come out to surface with pressure and are very hot. There is no sulphur or iron mixed in the waters, but it is said to be radio active. The water of these springs is so much hot that pulses ( dal ), rice, vegetables etc. can be boiled and cooked in it.
There is a Gurudwara here serving visitors and provides night stay. In the Gurudwara, the dal, rice and vegetables are boiled in the hot water and served to the visitors after cooking them fine and surprisingly the meal is tasty. Vegetables etc. are cooked in a pan resting on the hot water. Usually the meal is cooked fine in 20 minutes. Even ‘chapatis’ are cooked by immersion. The heat near the boiling place, where the meal is cooked, is so high that in habitual persons can not even stand and tolerate the heat for some minutes.

Other Attractions on the Way
Lord Ram Chandra Temple:
There are several temples in the Manikaran village. The most important is that of Lord Ram Chandra. The Pandas, or priests, of the village claim that the idol of Rama was brought from Ayodhya and installed in this temple by the Raja of Kullu, but this lacks historic confirmation. There was also an idol of Lakshman, the younger brother of Lord Rama Chandra, which has now disappeared. On the left hand side of the Lord is the idol of Goddess Sita. The temple is very old and on one of the stones in its wall, the history of the temple is written, which is not legible.
Temple of Lord Shiva:
There is another very old temple of Lord Shiva, which got tilted during the earthquake of 1905. The great prestige with which Manikaran is held is seen by the fact that the Devatas of the Kulu valley pay regular visits to Manikaran. The followers of the individual deities at different places are carried ceremoniously in a procession to Manikaran on specified auspicious days.
Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Gurudwara:
The place is also held sacred by the Sikhs. The Janam Sakhi, or the “Twarikh Guru Khalsa” by Giani Gian Singh, mentions the visit of Guru Nanak Dev to this place. It has been mentioned that, accompanied by his disciple Bhai Mardana, the Guru reached Jwalamukhi temple after visiting Kalanaur, Gurdaspur, Dasuya, Triloknath, Palampur, and Kangra. The Guru then proceeded towards Mandi, and after visiting Chamba and Kulu, he came to Bijli Mahadev. After preaching at all these places, Guru Nanak Dev came to Mani Karan. The Janam Sakhi, or the “Autobiography of Bhai Mardana”, mentions the miracles worked by the Guru. The Guru came to Mani Karan along with his five ‘Piaras’, or followers.
Hot Springs:
By taking bath here and by drinking water of this place, people go to Heaven, this is said of the Manikaran tract since the times immemorial. It is just like ‘Kashi Kshetra’ and there is no doubt about it. On examination it is understood that the Manikaran hot spring is said to have got Uranium and other radio active minerals.
