Mashobra & Tattapani

Weekend break, randomly call Club mahindra Mashobra for a single day availability, on Friday and hurrah....Last our visit to Mashobra was in 2012, when we spent around 3-4 days exploring Tattapani, Kufri and Naldhera. After the dam which came up in Tattapani, heard that much had changed as the Shiv gufa we trekked to, is now under water. Our last travelogue is available here - Roadtrip Mashobra Naldehra Tattapani Saror

In between we take a lunch break at Rinku bhojanalaya, bundhi kadhi and rice was good. Tattapani has changed, the satluj river which was once a stream is now a river. The small hot water springs near the river bed is now channelised to pipes and keep flowing. The outlets are around the temple now. Nothing much to see here except the hot water sulphur springs. There are temorary sheds built for people to bath, though they are in a bad state.
