Посещение горячих источников, это ещё один обязательный пункт на Камчатке. Но здесь есть два варианта.

Первый, вы можете жить в отеле долины реки Паратунка, где будет оборудованно несколько бассейнов с термальной водой. Это довольно популярное и легкодоступное место. Но будьте готовы к тому, что вокруг вас будут плавать другие такие же туристы, которые после восхождения на вулкан также хотят расслабиться в парящей на прохладном воздухе горячей воде.

Если вы хотите уединения, то для вас второй вариант – дикие источники, со своей уникальной атмосферой и водой. На Камчатке таких мест с избытком. До них обычно дорога непростая, прийдется ехать по гравийке, идти по лесу или подниматься в гору, но в конце вас ждёт вознаграждение ввиде природной горячей ванны, где вы можете отдохнуть в полном одиночестве.

В любом случае, какой бы вариант вы не выбрали, все термальные источники отлично восстанавливают силы после насыщенного дня на Камчатке. И на утро вы будете свежие и полные сил! Проверено на себе 😉

Another increasingly rare dip into the soaks of what lies upwards of Asia's Himal. Despite the cold gripping the region, many photo's feature the lush greenery of seasons past.

Above from the Far East of Russia, on the Kamchatka peninsula. Most probably Verkhne-Paratunka hot spring. The text basically notes there are two kinds of soaks on Kamchatka: enhanced with other visitors likely. Or non-enhanced, with chances of complete privacy. User has quite a few soaking related photo's on her account.

Then another Kamchatka soaking experience:

Following by the looks of it another nice soak, this time from Buryatia.

Горячие источники Хойто-Гол, незабываемые ощущения особенно ночью греться и смотреть на звёзды, когда рядом шумит горная речка #хойтогол #окинскийрайон #бурятия

I put some extra effort in looking the above up. 

If I hark back to my original post (Going Baikal) I've made references as towards soaks in / or near Khoyto-Gol (Russian: Хойто-Гол). 

Additional info from Highlights of Okinsky Region:

'Khoyto-Gol Warm Springs
In Buryat language means "Hot River". Nice spot on the bank of Arshan creek near the junction of Khoyto-Gol river, where hot waters spring out from under boulders to surface. They count about ten sources with temperature from +29 to +33 degrees of Celcium. The water is not pleasant for taste, sharply smells sulphur, but really perfect for bathing. It was used since old times by local hunters as a place to rest and take curative baths. Surrounded with wonderful taiga forest, filled with wildlife, now it is utilized by local population as a spa village since the administration of the region raised good wooden cabins and bungolows there, built bath facilities as well. Firewoods supplied by trucks periodically. It has no stable dwellers there, yet till the end of July it is usually overcrowded, and all the cabins are occupied'.

I never experienced 5 star but my whole life spent under million starts and nature spa.

One of high altitude hot spring just below the high mountain.

After long hike it is so relax in the hot pool.

Over to India. 

The above refers to a soak in Ladakh, again I looked at my own references (Of Amchis and Soaks on Prescription), but fail to delve up a name to attach to what looks like a great soak. 

Following are more easier to designate: Tatwani (below) and Kheerganga. Both H.P.. 

Is it just me or is Kheerganga seeing (too?) much more soakers?

Stress less and enjoy the best 🤘

Well, the entire Kheerganga trek was full of adventures and misadventures. But finding these hot springs on the top was such a bliss. The kheerganga hot springs are really clean, the section is well separated and entirely enclosed for females, the water temperature so apt that it feels like a proper jacuzzi. I actually did my first skinny dipping inside this, was so blessed to have no other people around that I don’t know how my couple of hours flew by.

Bliss ❤️

More info on India. 

Traveltraingle has an article (Apr. 19) on no less than 22 hot springs: 

'It’s no surprise that we often find almost no mention of hot springs even in the most talked about travel experiences. So, here we are to break the stereotype by letting you know about some Indian states that boast of some of the most famous hot springs in India located at attractive tourist places'.

Singa Tatopani, Nepal (シンガタトパニ・ネパール)

Noel is off today☺️ Instead, let me upload hot springs in the world♨️

It was on the last day of my 2 week long trekking around Annapurna. Really good quality one☺️

Moving westwards, the above not the usual hot spring(s) from Nepal but Singa Tatopani, a bit off the main tourist route but well-known by locals.

The following is just one of a couple pictures on an article highlighting the hot springs of Sikkim (Drive 2 Northeast; Feb. 13): 

'Sikkim is blessed with many hot springs and the locations of these hot springs are so unpredictably beautiful. The hot spring is a gift from nature to us and the way they are naturally formed is a real art. Your visit to Sikkim can be considered incomplete if you do not take a deep warm dip into one of these hot springs.

Sikkim has many hot springs and they are popularly known for their therapeutic value because of its high content in Sulphur, the waters are believed to have great medicinal properties with the average temperature close to 50c'.

'Borong hot springs are natural spas located at Borong near Ravangla, these hot springs are popularly known as Ralang Cha-chu and Borong Cha-chu. Both of these hot springs are situated along the banks of the Rangit River. To reach Ralang Cha-chu you have to walk downhill for about an hour to the Rangit valley from the Ralang monastery and Borong Cha-chu is a 7 km drive from Ralang and further downhill walk.

Temporary huts are available at nominal rates for overnight stays but all bedding and cooking utensils have to be carried along. During the peak hot spring season, there will be small shops selling vegetables and other basic necessities and the locals sell dairy products. Visitors spend days and more soaking in these magical hot springs which are believed to have therapeutic power to cure many diseases.

Surrounded by carpeted hills all around and guided by various exciting trails with amazing views this place is perfect for nature lovers. The best time to visit the hot springs are from December to February'.

Tidrum Nunnery (Terdrom Nunnery) with its medicinal hot springs has a great location in a narrow gorge (Rep-chu) at the confluence of two streams, located at an altitude of 4325m. The entire valley is festooned with prayer flags. The small nunnery has strong connections to Yeshe Tsogyal, the wife of the 37th King of central Tibet Trisong Detsen and consort of Guru Rinpoche. The Kandro-la, the resident spiritual leader of the nunnery, is considered a reincarnation of Yeshe Tsogyal.

The delightful #tidrum #hotsprings are surrounded by wooden canopies and there are separate men’s and women’s pools. It is said to be rich in minerals, including sulphur, coal, bitumen and limestone.

There is a pilgrimage route high into the mountains, leading to the Secret Cave of Yeshe Tsogyal called Kiri Yangdzong. At 5060m, the cave is accessed via a 15m ladder.

A couple of outliers: a now rare photo from central Tibet (above) and Kazachstan (last, below).

And a reference by nomadasaurus who has an article (Mar. 29) on hiking and hot springs near Altyn Arashan (Kyrgyzstan). Based from the hot spring, the author braves the elements, potential alcohol-posioing while traversing the surroundings.

In the east of Kazachstan, the hot springs of Goryachii Istochniki Aksu, a town with a few hot spring localities. One of which is Karadala - Chundzhi:
