SAHASTRADHARA
Sahastradhara, often referred to as “Thousand Fold Spring,” is a lovely location bordered by caverns and the Baldi River. The spring water, known for having a high sulfur concentration, is said to offer therapeutic benefits. Apart from that, the spring water’s lime component has been replaced by limestone ridges and outcrops. The water thunders down the rocks during the monsoon season, providing a breathtaking spectacle.
ROBBER’S CAVE

Fact: The cave’s flow briefly vanishes at one location before reappearing a few meters distant.
