| Sohna Hills |
|
| A place where gold dust flows in water, where sulphur springs cure diseases, a tiny hamlet surrounded by pleasant little hills and inhabited by peacocks. This is not a setting for a fairy tale, but a picturesque holiday doubling up as health hotel, a place called Sohna Hills. A decaying fortress adds to its charm by reminding everyone of its warrior heritage. It is believed that in ancient times gold dust used to flow in the spring water streams along the banks. This is how the place got its name of Sohna, derived from 'sona' meaning gold. Sohna hill is situated near Damdama Lake and lies atop the Aravalli hills. |

Location
Sohna Hills is located in Haryana, about 15 kms from Gurgaon and approximately 60 kms from Delhi.
The Beauty
Sohna Hills is a fitting place to take a mini holiday, far from the ever growing mass of people. The nighttime here won't make you miss any city nightlife. The glittering illumination from the settlement seems like a tiara on the charcoal black streams. The place is so natural that it seems the area is untouched by industrialization. Early in the morning your alarm clock would be the cries of peacocks and many other local birds. The bells of the temple will beckon you receive blessings from god and the thickets of flowers and trees will surround you in peace.
The Curative Springs
The springs or rivulets in Sohna have sulphur which acts as a medicine to various stress related ailments. The springs are located at the feet of a perpendicular rock, capped by a dome believed to have been built in the 14th century chieftains. The medicinal properties are tapped in the local spa and a temperature range of 46.1OC to 51.70C is maintained. The spa compound with sauna, sulphur and steam bath amenities for a traveler is positioned up on the hill. The water emitted from a fresco fills the small swimming pool. |
