NEHRU KUND...
Yes,this is “NEHRU KUND”and once up on a time this was a must place to watch.Now a in a pity condition and also in total negligence.

A nasty land slide on 19th of March 2008 spoiled the beauty and serenity of this place.This spring falls just 5 kms from Manali which was named after the first prime minister of India - Late Pundit Nehru because he used to drink the crystal clear water from the spring when ever he stayed in Manali.

The water of this spring is so cold that you can not hold your hand more than 2-3 minutes in this spring. The graceful clean water spring is said to have its source at the Bhrigu Lake which lies up above on a mountain of this place.

As there is enough drinking water available here in Nehru kund to supply to the town Manali,the nagar parishad and govt. authorities should necessarily do to preserve this historical spring.

It is d looming fear about the repeatition of land slide which is major reason of its negligence.But in Himalyan zone as these are part n parcel and if ignored,may cause havoc.These place need utmost care and pre-study of avlanches provided new technology of slabing guard or say strong shelters on RCC pattern are applied to avoid any sort of slithering and sliding.Yes,if done that the history ofcourse will repeat itself and water of this spring is really pure n sweet.
As I had revealed earliar about a week ago about land slide in this area which is the major problem.Now it had happened again.The continous rain spalshing had caused the land sliding near Nehru kund area,the lot of debris brought by recent cloud brust is also becoming a problem for high way walkers.Its high time to think about this historical spring now otherwise it is near its extict.
