वशिष्ठ
गरम पानी के स्त्रोतों के लिए मशहूर ,वशिष्ठ ,..जो कि मनाली से मात्र ३ किलो मीटर दूर है I ..यहाँ पे भगवान राम का मंदिर है I..यह स्थल देशी-विदेशी सैलानियों से भरा रहता है I...यह ऋषि वशिष्ठ कि तपोस्थली रही है I...यहाँ का गरम पानी शरीर के विकारों व् जोड़ों के दर्द से निजात दिलाता है I

TheVasistha,is village so beautiful,no doubt about it. Here, you can truly experience d village, its interesting people, their unique traditional clothes, d distinctive architecture and thatched roofs,this fascinates that d foreigners.As d story goes, d Rishi Vashisht, distraught at having learnt that his children had all been killed by Vishwamitra... See More, tried to kill himself by jumping in d river. But d river wouldn’t let him drown. He was carried to Vashisht Village where he decided to start a new life. D river is now called Vipasha, meaning freedom from bondage. River Vipasha was later shortened to River Beas. Vashisht Village is also famous for its hot sulphur springs. These are said to be created by Lakshman, d brother of Lord Ram. Lakshman didn’t want the sage Vashisht to have to walk too far for a bath. So he shot an arrow into d ground and d hot springs gushed forth from that point. Now, you will find bathrooms and changing rooms here and separate bathing areas for men and women. There is also a temple here that houses a black stone image of d sage wearing a dhoti or loincloth. A Rama temple is close by which has idols of Ram, Sita and Lakshman. This village was also an important place for the Vaishnava cult, although it’s not any more. You can also plan to be here around Dussehra as the festival is celebrated here with great joy and on a large sacle. Or just make it for a warm soak in the springs!
