The small town of Sohna is an important tourist place, located 24kms from the city on the highway from Gurgoan to Alwar, near a vertical rock.  The town derived its name from the gold dust which was found from the sands of streams, after heavy rains in the beds of the neighbouring torrents. The place can be accessible only by foot through narrow paths which are unreachable to vehicles.

Sohna is well - known for its hot water springs. The water is strongly sulphurous and its temperature varies from 46° C to 51.7 °C. In ancient times, sohna is believed to be the abode of hermits and the main kund ( tank) called Shiv Kund, is said to have medicinal properties and curative effect. Devotees considered it as sacred and during solar/ lunar eclipse and Somavati Amavasya, they gather here for taking a dip in the water.
