Day 5 continued : Parashuram Kund
The Kamlang river made us hopeful that beautiful vistas might be waiting ahead for us. We were cruising along a nice road and were about to hit the mountains when we took a right turn. After a couple of kilometres, we went past a check post, a left turn, and there we were – on the famous bridge over the Lohit at Parashuram Kund.
As per the legend, Parashuram washed away his sin of matricide by taking a dip in the Lohit river here.
The kund, or the location on the river where people take holy dip, is on the right side of the massive boulder embedded in the river bed.

We looked for the temple of Parshuram. There were too many temples. Some steps have been built which we felt must have gone to the temple, but they led us to the kund.

It was an arduous climb back as the steps near the kund were really too high for the strained urban knees.
