Rishi Kund Tourism

Situated in the tranquil town of Rishikesh within Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, India, Rishi Kund is a sacred hot water spring that holds significant religious importance. The name ‘Rishi Kund’ translates to ‘Sage’s Pond’, which reflects its mythological connection to sage Rishi Raibhya, who is believed to have performed deep penance at this site. According to the legends, the River Ganges rewarded Rishi Raibhya’s dedication by manifesting as a hot spring, making Rishi Kund existent. This thermal spring is renowned for its medicinal properties, attracting visitors seeking spiritual solace and physical wellbeing. Nestled amidst serene settings with lush vegetation and the soothing sounds of nature, it acts as a convergence point for pilgrims en route to the holy shrines of Badrinath and Kedarnath. Nearby, the ancient Raghunathji Temple dedicated to Lord Rama enhances the sacred ambiance of the area.
