Vashisht
A temple village where sulfur springs steam between apple orchards and mountain mist.
Prayer bells echo through narrow stone lanes while hot springs bubble from ancient ground, filling the air with mineral scent. Pilgrims and backpackers share wooden benches outside chai stalls, watching snow peaks emerge from morning clouds above terraced hillsides dotted with traditional slate-roof houses.
