Manesar

Manesar is part of the National Capital Region (NCR) of Delhi and lies in the Gurgaon District in Haryana. It is famous for the Sultanpur Bird

Sanctuary, which is inhabited by more than 250 bird species. Another major attraction in the region is the Damdama Lake which is popular for

activities like hot air ballooning, parasailing, kayaking, rock climbing and angling. Over 190 species of native and migratory birds can be

spotted near the lake.

The Mata Sheetala Devi temple at Manesar is known for the festival celebrated during the month of Chaitra (March-April). The famous Sohna

Sulphur Springs, located near the Damdama Lake, has temperature ranging from 460 Celsius to 510 Celsius and is believed to cure skin diseases.

Situated on the lower Aravalli Ranges, Manesar lies on a hilltop. Besides the idyllic beauty of the Aravalli Ranges, Manesar has many places of

tourist interest. Some among these tourist attractions overlap with Gurgaon. Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary, Damdama Lake and Mata Sheetala Devi

Temple are the well known tourist spots at Manesar. From Manesar, excursions can be taken to the outskirts of Gurgaon to visit Sohna and also

to the town of Nuh, where the tomb of Sheikh Musa is located.
