Rawalsar is a natural lake with floating islands, about 15 kilometers west of Mandi town. The habitation that has grown around it is also named Rawalsar. Himachal Tourism runs a practical Tourist Inn. Its presence enables every visitor to truly savor the beauty and ambience of this enchanting spot. It is well situated to accentuate a thrill from adventure opportunities that Abound around Rewalsar.

Built on a slight rise, and with a commanding view of both the lake and the valley below, Guru Gobind Singh visited it once on the occasion of Baisakhi festival.

It was here that Raja Siddh Sen of Mandi met the Guru and took him to Mandi with him. The commemorative Sikh shrine here is called Gurudwara. Damdama Sahib. It is located on the hillside at some height from the lake and its dome is visible from a distance. Rawalsar is particularly sacred to Namdhari Sikhs.

Because of some allusion to it in Sau Sakhi as a sanctuary, many Namdharis went to settle there during early 1940s, but as this small hilly place could hardly absorb them, most of them came back; yet many settled at the nearby Mandi town from where they keep visiting the lake and the Gurudwara frequently.

The rooms are airy, decently furnished and have attached baths with running hot and cold water,T.V. in Block A.
