Dharwas Mineral Spring

Dharwas Mineral Spring, locally known as Tilmili or Tilmil Pani, is a natural mineral water spring located in Dharwas village in the remote Pangi Valley of Chamba District, Himachal Pradesh. Situated at an elevation of approximately 8,000 feet (2,400 meters), this spring is renowned for its mineral-rich waters. Historically, water from this spring was regularly sent to the Raja of Chamba. The spring serves as a notable landmark in one of Himachal Pradesh's most isolated valleys.

Visitors can expect to see a natural mineral water spring surrounded by hazelnut groves in a remote mountain setting. The spring is accessible along the Killar-Kishtwar road near Dharwas village. The area offers views of the rugged Pangi Valley landscape with steep mountains and deep gorges. Visitors can observe the traditional architecture of Dharwas village and experience the tranquil atmosphere of this isolated Himalayan location. The spring itself is a simple natural feature rather than a developed tourist facility.

It is believed that water from the Tilmili spring was regularly sent to the Raja of Chamba. Dharwas is the northernmost town of Himachal Pradesh and has been part of the historic Chamba region since ancient times.

The spring holds cultural importance as a source of mineral water valued historically by the Chamba royalty. Dharwas is the largest and most populated settlement in the remote Pangi Valley, serving as a base for trekkers on the Dalhousie-Kishtwar route.
