Hathni Kund is in Haryana, built on a raised plinth overlooking the Yamuna. The river Yamuna flows into the plains of Haryana after crossing over the last lap of the Himalayan foothills at Paonta Sahib. The waters of the western Yamuna Canal are collected in the barrage at Tajewala, 5 km away from Hathni Kund.


The spot is a common area for camping, rafting, and hiking in the Kalesar forest reserve

Paonta Shaib in H.P

The Gurudwara Paonta Sahib has linkages to the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh and the Sikh leader Banda Bahadur. Its original name was Paontika. "Paon" in Hindi means feet and "tika" in Hindi means became stable. It is believed that Guru Gobind Singh's horse stopped at this place on its own and he decided to stay here.
