The water is said to emerge from a small spring and then flows underground before emerging as the river. The spot is also considered holy and has a small temple built around it. The view from the top of the hill is breathtaking with lush green forests and valleys all around. Make sure to carry comfortable shoes for the climb and cover your head while entering the temple.
