Sohna
Hills is situated at a distance of 56 km from Delhi. The name "Sohna"
literally means gold. The place got this name from the gold dust that
was once collected from the sands of streams flowing around it. There is
also a pretty health-cum-holiday resort in Sohna Hills, near Delhi.
Standing atop the Aravalli hills, the resort offers a breathtaking view
of the landscape below. On the adjacent hill, is a ruined fortress, once
a stronghold of local chieftains. Delhi Sohna Hills is the perfect place
to get some break from the routine stressful life of the cities. Peace and serenity abound in this place. The morning is filled with the sound of the calling peacocks. Also filling the atmosphere is the chiming of the temple bells in the Sohna town. One of the major attractions of Sohna are its sulphur springs, said to have medicinal properties. The sulphur springs have temperature in the range of 46.10 deg C to 51.70 deg C. Other facilities available at Sohna are the spa complex with sauna, sulphur and steam bath facilities for the tourists. There is also a small swimming pool, filled with water emitted from a wall mural.
