Sohna Hot Springs

Sohna Hot Springs, also known as Shiv Kund, is a natural sulphur hot spring located in Sohna town in Gurugram district, Haryana, at the foothills of the Aravalli Hills. The spring water emerges at around 46-52°C and is known for its sulphur content and reputed medicinal properties. The site includes an ancient Shiva temple and bathing kunds, attracting both pilgrims and tourists seeking therapeutic baths and religious significance.

Visitors can expect a natural thermal spring complex set against the Aravalli Hills with stone-built bathing kunds filled with hot sulphur water, an adjacent ancient Shiva temple, and separate enclosures for men and women. The area is compact and temple-focused, with changing areas, steps leading into the kunds, and a steady flow of pilgrims and local visitors, especially on religious occasions.

The spring is considered ancient and local legend associates its origin with the Mahabharata period, where Arjuna is said to have struck the ground to create a water source. The Shiva temple at Shiv Kund has been a long-standing place of worship and the site has been used for ritual bathing for centuries.

Considered sacred by Hindus and dedicated to Lord Shiva, the hot spring is a pilgrimage centre where devotees take a holy dip believing the sulphur water purifies and heals. Large gatherings occur during Kartik month, Somvati Amavasya and Maha Shivratri.
