manikaran

I'm interested in knowing more about the hot springs at Manikaran. I read that it is a holy place and that the waters are said to have curative powers. Are there many tourists that visit during the year? Are you allowed to go into the water?

I have been to Manali from Chandigarh and the road is fine for driving no issues at all. This time I would be going further ahead to Manikaran Sahib and would like to know what the road condition is like and whether I should drive from Manali to Manikaran myself or get a bus? If you suggest...
