Toasty

One of the most unique experiences of our life. We soaked in a traditional hot stone bath, situated in a candlelit stone hut on a hill. A ten minute walk from our lodge. Soaking in a wooden tub with minerals, herbs, and heated by hot stones, out in the open with views of the magnificent Phobjikha valley. And even though it was 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4.4 degrees Celsius) we were nice and toasty. We enjoyed this traditional Bhutanese’s healing experience. The sliding bamboo doors allowed for full privacy, yet offered majestic views. We got to unwind, sip a cup of hot apple cider and watch the sun set. An experience I will never forget @amankorabhutan

Wow, it's been quite a while. Not much to share either.

But let's start in the Himalaya proper though arguably, the above ticks all the boxes, except thermal waters. Following though are better aligned.

Natural hot spring pool 😍

Natural hotspring in Shangri-l. There are different sections where the hot source comes out. The first spot is the most popular one within locals because is really cheap and the water is super hot, I didn't even dare to try the hottest pool. Locals gathers there for chatting together and release their daily stress with a hot bath in those snowy and freezing days. The second spot I tried was not as hot as the small one but you could actually swim and enjoy the amazing scenery. there's also a natural steam room inside the cave which makes everything more challenging.

А как ещё на Камчатке отдыхать? #камчатка #зима #горячиебутерброды
A bit further away from the Himal, wintery and summery.

Прогулялись сегодня на беговых до источников, маршрут всего на 12 км от поворота. Туда шли 1ч 45 мин, обратно управились за 1 час ☺️
В воскресенье в час дня мы были там единственные 🤤 пока через 15 минут не приехало 7 машин 🤣
Покупаться к сожалению нам не удалось, вода была очень горячая, не смогли опустить даже ноги, горячую воду перекрыли, а вот доступа холодной воды нет, охладить лужу нечем 🤷‍♀️
В итоге посидели покушали, потом пообщались с ребятами, которые приехали и отправились в обратный путь)
Сбылась моя маленькая мечта, дойти до сюда именно на беговых 🌺
Water on Kamchatka is as different as the rest of nature. Here are huge waterfalls, fumaroles, cold streams, hot springs, constant snow, year-round ice. Try them all! #kamchatka #water #nature #waterfalls #fumarole #streams #springs #waterfall #snow #ice #hotsprings #hiking #камчатка #вода #природа #водопад #фумаролы #ручьи #снег #лед #горячиеисточники #ручей #водопады #поход

Finally, following a bit of an oddity. A Greek museum exhibiting photo's by Italian Mario Fantin of an expedition to the Karakoram (Pakistan) / K2. With the following soaking photo:
MARIO FANTIN | RADIUM PALACE
The documentation of the Italian expedition to Karakorum in 1954 is entrusted to Mario Fantin who decided to photograph the most intimate and everyday moments of that adventure. Fatigue, happiness, and gratitude are some of the emotions that transpire from the faces of men immersed in the sulfur spring near Chogo. The water welcomes them in a warm embrace that heals wounds and regenerates the spirit.
