Tulsishyam Hot Springs

Tulsishyam Hot Springs are natural sulphurous thermal springs located near the Tulsishyam Temple inside the Gir National Park in Gir Somnath district, Gujarat. Known for warm water believed to have medicinal properties due to sulphur content, the springs form three main kunds. Situated in a forested setting, the site combines natural attraction with pilgrimage significance and draws visitors for bathing, temple visits and nature experiences within the Gir forest landscape.

Visitors can expect three natural hot water kunds with sulphurous warm water set close to the Tulsishyam Temple within the forested area of Gir National Park. The surroundings are wooded and tranquil with temple structures, bathing enclosures and open forest landscape. Visitors can take a dip in the designated kunds, visit the temple, observe the natural spring source and explore the forest fringe area.

The springs are associated with the ancient Tulsishyam Temple, traditionally linked to Lord Krishna and the legend of Tulsi and Shyam. The temple and kunds have been a pilgrimage site for centuries and are located in the historic Gir forest region.

Considered sacred by Hindu pilgrims, the hot springs are believed to have healing properties and are used for ritual bathing before temple darshan. The site holds religious importance due to its association with Lord Krishna and is visited during pilgrimages and festivals.
