About Nehru Kund

Nehru Kund is a pristine natural freshwater spring located 5 km north of Manali along the Leh Manali Highway (NH 3). Named after India's first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, who drank from its waters during his mountain stays in Himachal Pradesh, it is a beloved roadside landmark.

Nehru Kund Natural Spring Manali

Glacial Source from High Altitude Bhrigu Lake

Geological folklore holds that the crystal clear waters of Nehru Kund originate directly from the high altitude glacial Bhrigu Lake situated at 14,100 feet. The bubbling water emerges cold and sweet from underneath the granite boulders, flowing onward into the nearby roaring Beas River.

Rohtang Highway Stop and Photography

Truth is, almost every tourist heading toward Solang Valley or Atal Tunnel stops here for a refreshing tea break. Travelers drink the pure mineral water, photograph the swirling Beas river rapids, and browse roadside wooden craft stalls beneath towering cedar trees.

How to Reach Nehru Kund

  • Location: Located 5 km north of Manali along the main highway toward Burwa and Solang Valley.
  • By Cab / Auto: A short 10 to 15 minute drive by taxi or auto rickshaw from Manali Mall Road.
  • En Route Solang / Atal Tunnel: Perfectly positioned as a 20 minute scenic halt while driving to Solang Valley or Sissu.
  • Bus Access: Local HRTC buses running from Manali to Solang and Keylong stop directly at the Nehru Kund gate.

Best Time to Visit Nehru Kund

  • March to June (Summer Season): Warm sunny days (18°C to 28°C); bubbling spring water feels intensely cold and refreshing.
  • July to September (Monsoon): The spring gushes with high volume surrounded by lush green moss and roaring Beas rapids.
  • October to November (Autumn Crisp Days): Golden poplar leaves and crisp mountain sunshine frame the clear spring pool.
  • December to February (Winter): Surrounded by snowy banks while the clean spring water continues to bubble continuously.
