Himalayas hot springs ❤️ #peaceofmind #pieceofheaven #beautyofnature #calmness #travelling #himalayas #hotsprings #mountains #bucketlist #wanttogoback #selflove
Best to start in the mountains themselves. 
Above Nepal, below the nearly neighbour of Bhutan. 
While the paragraph closes with Tajikistan.

Gasa Hotsprings
台北好冷的天氣、讓我想起不丹的溫泉。不丹除了有名的hot stone bath 外、再來就是Gasa 的溫泉了。當地人說這溫泉可治筋骨骨、關節炎等等的、但水質和氣味的強度好像沒有我家北投那邊強😀
不過隔天就要出發高山健行了、還是先泡一下吧

19.05.2018 г. ЭМЖО или Дикие Озерки 😋
Для любителей хлеба и зрелищ это наверное один из самых излюбленных маршрутов 😬 это какой-то полигон по испытанию техники на прочность и проходимость, всего в нескольких километрах от цивилизации 💪 вот и мы решили открыть сезон с хардкора) было бы эпично, если бы весь путь орала Metallica из колонок 🤘
Самое классное ехать на озерки именно в это время года - не каждый может доехать, а соответственно и народу в луже практически нету ☺️ компанию нам составили три милых старичка, которые любят пешие прогулки 😁
В итоге грязь намесили, в источничках покупались, обратно до заката вернулись 👍
Из потерь: рассыпалась граната на приводе 🤕 но ничего страшного, починим нашу радость и будем дальше катать 💪

Термальные источники
на Итурупе - это пожалуй самый приятный пункт нашего путешествия по острову. Практически каждый день, переполненные впечатлениями после посещения удивительных мест острова, когда, казалось удивить нас не чем, мы, приезжали на очередные источники и получали, как вишенку на торте, огромное удовольствие и расслабление после "трудового" дня.
Первые источники, которые мы посетили - это "Ванночки".

For reasons unbeknownst to myself, we are starting off on the Fareast peninsula of Kamchatka, with mostly wintery scenes.

"Когда отключили горячую воду" :))
Камчатка.
Горячие источники ЭМЖО.
Купание в горячем источнике и в ледяной реке по соседству.

Замечательно прокатились до горячих источников ☺️ после них ты становишься таким легким, размеренным и спокойным 🥰 дорога асфальт, на выходах правла нас подвела летняя резина 😅 пару раз пришлось нас дергать))
Из потерь - из нашей компании у мостового паджерика лопнула панара, и из другой компании - у прадоса вырвало ступицу 😱

Away from Kamchatka (and the snow), there are the Kuril islands, above Iturup, below Kunashir.

Кунашир теперь наш любимый остров.
Однажды, в июле 2018-го, за день до отправления парома по маршруту Исландия — Фареры, я поймал себя на мысли, что мне очень грустно уезжать. Остров льда и огня врезался в сердце, заставил влюбиться во все его особенности и забыть про ненастную погоду.
Впечатлений было так много, что поверить в повторение подобных ощущений тогда я не мог.
Три года спустя, узнав что из-за непогоды паром с Кунашира задерживается на сутки, я прочувствовал ещё раз ту самую боль.
Грусть буквально нахлынула на меня, и не отпускала все те полтора дня, что оставалось там находиться.
Кунашир отнял два дрона. Один правда помыл, и отдал. Кунашир заставил четыре раза возвращаться на Головнинский клиф, и трижды на мыс Столбчатый. Кунашир просолил Хому и Тринити насквозь, и я не знаю как всё это теперь отмыть. Кунашир заставил четыре дня подряд ходить насквозь мокрыми. Кунашир побил все рекорды по разбитым, покоцанным и утерянным вещам, но в то же время, Кунашир — это лучшее, что с нами случалось.
Пипец как грустно было его покидать, пипец как хочется туда вернуться.
Ничего вам не рассказал об острове, но в тоже время, надеюсь, рассказал абсолютно всё.
Кунашир — 🧡

Joint
This hot spring is widely known for its healing powers that can cure any diseases that inflates and pains the joints , muscles or fibrous tissues especially rheumatoid arthritis and even helps to get rid of the skin eruptions.
It's located on the banks of Gori Ganga river en route Jauljibi - Darchula

The Himal proper then.
Considering we are in India I'll take the opportunity to share a couple of content finds.
Think Geoenergy (Feb. 21, 2021) notes how the state of Gurjarat is seeking geothermal potential particularly at the hot springs of Unai, one of the states 17 identified hot springs. 
Traveldotearth (May 12):
'India has many Hot Springs in different geographical locations and here are a few that you must visit for a delightful experience'.
Nothing new though.

В следующем видео на YouTube канале Дороги Дороги, о путешествии на Памир, расскажем про памирские источники (-:
Этот источник на фото - Гарм-Чашма, благоустроенный, недалеко от Ишкашима. Но в горах можно встретить и дикие, когда горячая вода бьет из скал. Когда ты запылился за несколько дней без душа, и на улице около 0 градусов, это настоящий подарок богов, на самом деле! В сентябре Red Offroad снова сюда едет, надеюсь снова тут искупаться. Присоединяйтесь!

Adventures of Nicole has an entry (Dec. 2021) on Madiyan hot springs, very much at the end of Wakhan valley (Tajikistan). It's more a pointer on how to get, what to expect.
She also has a page (Nov. 2021) on travelling through the Wakhan proper. With references to Garm Chasma (photo above) and Bibi Fatima ("one of the most unique hot springs" she has been to).

I don't know where to put this article, but besides the geographical stretch, this blog also looks into bathing practices in general. As such I think I can not fail to refer to this article by the Guardian (Jan. 7, 2022):
'The Taliban sparked outrage this week by announcing that women in northern Afghanistan would no longer be allowed to use communal bathhouses.
The use of bathhouses, or hammams, is an ancient tradition that remains for many people the only chance for a warm wash during the country’s bitterly cold winters.
Women, who regularly use the bathhouses for ritual cleaning and purification required under Islamic law, said this was another example of the Taliban tightening its grip and infringing their basic rights. They fear the ban will be extended to other parts of the country.
...
Women in the north-western city of Herat, where only 39% of neighbourhoods have adequate access to water and sanitation, reported that some bathhouses had already closed.
Winuss Azizi, from the non-profit organisation Visions for Children in Afghanistan, said most households in Herat and Mazar-i-Sharif did not have the capacity or the facilities to heat large quantities of water.
“That’s why people rely on hammams in winter,” she said, adding: “Islam requires religious cleansing after menstruation, giving birth and sexual intercourse, which many visit bathhouses for. I have regularly seen women performing their purification prayer rituals at the hammam.”
And finishing this post off near the shores of the Baikal. And from the Jewish Autonomous Oblast.
And with snow. And ice. 

Зима - время холодное и суровое. Все стараются взять отпуск летом, а холодную зиму провести за работой. Но только зимой можно насладиться горячими источниками в полной мере. Только зимой можно ощутить контраст, когда посидев в горячей воде, ты выходишь и гуляешь в купальнике среди сугробов, ощущая, как мороз покалывает кожу, но не ощущая холода. А как только холод начинает проникать внутрь, ты снов ныряешь в горячую воду. Кайф!
Друзья, осталось последние три места на апрель на берег Байкала в Хакусы, на горячие источники. Занимайте скорее. #хакусы #байкал #отпуск #горячиеисточники
Спонтанная поездка в Кульдур от @rs.khv
Долго собирались (кое-то себе искал штаны всё утро тёплые), выехали где-то в 12 дня или позже....🤔В общем двинули. По пути пару раз останавливались, плюс улетели в кувет. Откопались, нам помогли выехать из снежной западни, люди добрые, которые проезжали мило. Спасибо им всем ещё раз🤝
А дальше меня расстроило то, что санаторий Санус закрыт и нельзя прогуляться по его территории.
Далее было всё было хорошо и весело. Поплюхались в водичке, наверное 2 часа😅😁А все по 15 минут заходят. Но мы же раз в год, так что можно и два часа🤣
По пути домой заехали в кафе "У Коляна". Очень классное кафе. Вкусно, быстро, чисто. Кто знает, тот знает.
Спасибо, что дочитали до конца)

A quick tour of the region, with photo's and info.
We're starting off in Tajikistan (above and following), at the starting point of the Wakhan corridor: the photogenic Garm Chasma hot spring. 
Following is a description from the blog lillafamiljenreiser (Sep. 29); from Swedish it translates as:
'At 12 o'clock we drove out again from Khorog towards the hot spring we were told yesterday - Garmchashma Hot Spring. It is a source of thousands of years, with lots of minerals and lime in the water. We arrived at 2 pm and went in and bathed. From 2 pm to 3 pm, women were allowed to swim outdoors, in the natural spring and men were allowed to swim indoors. Lucky me! I brought the kids with me, because the air indoors where the men were allowed to swim was like a sauna. The water was very warm, well above 42 degrees, so the kids didn't want to swim but sat mostly and watched'.
 

Below, from the border region of Uzbekistan with Kazachstan, referred to as Pskem (the river?), Tashkent region:
Our Swimmingpool on 3000m. Relaxing after big powder runs. No better place to be. Our next trips going back there. @philippherfort_photography .

Lonely Planet's forum has an entry on Nepal's Tatopani. Initial post (5 months ago):
'Pls let me know whether it is up and running again after the earthquake? Thx'.
The answers are diverse:
'The Hot spring of Tatopani, Myagdi, NEPAL has been working perfectly at the present. ...The ones on Tamang Heritage Trail don't work. Pools were empty in fall 2019 and I didn't see any efforts in finding the springs again....The Tatopani along the Manaslu Tour, between Khorlabesi and Jagat, had been heavily damaged by the 2015 eartquakes, but was back in to order in November 2017. Ducts were delivering really hot water, but pools were not filled'.
Holidify (Sep. 23) has a full article on the hot springs of Bhutan. The intro:
'Hot springs, which are known as Tshachus, are known for their medicinal properties and are found in different parts of Bhutan. It has been used for centuries by the locals to cure different kinds of body ailments, especially arthritis. The popular tradition amongst Bhutanese is to visit hot springs during the winters. Thanks to the plethora of medicinal flora and multifaceted traditional healing practices dating back to the 7th century, Bhutan has an ancient name ‘Menjung’ which means the land of medicinal herbs.
...
According to Bhutanese spiritual beliefs, the hot spring (tshachu), mineral spring (drubchu) and medicinal water (smenchu) have originated from the blessings of Lord Buddha and Bodhisattvas. These holy water sources are located in the sacred sites, and it's very important to the local population of Bhutan'.
It lists Gasa, D(h)ur, Chuboog, Gelephu and Duenmang hot springs.
Gasa Tshachu or Hot spring in Gasa is the most famous hot mineral spring in Bhutan. It is a place where people from all over the country come to have bath and soak in different ponds due to its curative powers. People believe that soaking in the waters is beneficial to their health and they visit these hot springs to cure various ailments ranging from ulcers to joint pains and sinus troubles. Besides, there are many medicinal waters that are believed to cure various other diseases. Foreigners call it as Bhutanese Beach as it is the only place where all walks of life especially elderly people gather at the place and soak in the same pond. So, visit Gasa and enjoy the hot natural spring bath.
Rust
The instagram account Baikalnature has a not so interesting photo, but with the following text:
'baikalnature.official
Did You Know? — There is a lot of hot springs in the open air around Baikal, where you can swim even in the coldest winter: “Zhemchug” in the Tunkinskaya Valley, Zmeevaya Bay in the Chivyrkuy Bay, springs at Cape Kotelnikovsky, Dzelinda, Khakusy and Goudzhekit in Northern Baikal. Hot springs mean not only useful mineral water, which treats an impressive list of diseases, but also sacred sites'.
Examples. Zhemchug:

sophiakatarina
Close to the small town of Arshan, known for its waterfalls and rusting sanatoriums, is the area generally known as Zhemchug. But when you get off a bus at the main road by Zhemchug, you have to head up north for a few kilometers to find a neighbourhood called Vishka. Vishka is a truly authentic Russian holiday village for regular families. The reason this place has come to be are the mineral hot springs, which you can visit for 200-250 rubles per half hour. Thirty minutes is plenty, because at least at ’Akvapark’ (pictured) the water is close to 60 degrees Celsius and after a while your body just wants out. The water smells a bit of methane and the Russians say it’s good for the bones. The small village boasts many cafés where the food is good and cheap, and they accept cards almost everywhere. Choose a restaurant by the Irkut river bank for a lovely view from the terrace. I’m staying at a place called Novyy Vek which is not online. I pay 350 rubles per night (outdoor toilet), and an hour of banya here set me back eighty. A popular thing to do here is get a massage, as well. This is truly a place to relax at, as you can see the beautiful Sayan mountains from here very clearly... and there isn’t much else to do anyway. #siperianhommia #zhemchug
And Goudzhekit:

#солнечныйвидсверху
To finalize the Russian section a picture from Kamchatka:

Чудненько проводим время наслаждаясь горячими термальными источниками))#отдых #горячиеисточники #верхнепаратунские #друзья #выходные
Witness
ThinkGeoEnergy (Oct. 15) on Mongolia:
'Today, IGA’s Team and Photo Contest Committee announced the winner of the Photo Contest and thereby a ticket to the World Geothermal Congress 2020. About 70 contributions were sent into the competition including pitches on the photos.
IGA [International Geothermal Association] congratulates Kasia Kurek on winning the award and WGC2020 ticket. Here her pitch for the photos of Tsenkher hot spa in Mongolia here below on the photo collage title “Geothermal unknown magic … ”
“On the 1860 meters above sea, based in the old volcanoes structure a hot geothermal spring flows all year long with unsalted, highly mineralised waters of 86°C. Throughout a system of primitive pipelines the hot geothermal water powers the local households, warms the animals shelters in the harsh Mongolian winter and is used for simple greenhousing.
Thanks to this hot spring the tourism sector emerged and a geothermal spa and a tourist yurts camp is constructed. The geothermal resource is an economic leverage to this small, rural community in the middle of Mongolia.
Tsenkher has no paved road access thus, the geothermal spring is the main the source of energy and thereby the source of community life. Moreover, the geothermal spring is given a magical significance by the locals and village shamans perform their prayers at the source estuary…”.

And finally, the China Daily reports (Mar. 4) on Guizhou hot springs

'Hot spring attractions in Guizhou, a relatively undeveloped province in southwestern China, witnessed a boom in tourist arrivals during last month's Spring Festival holiday.
...
Hot spring bathing has become a popular leisure activity for Chinese travelers in recent years, online travel agency Tuniu said in a news release, adding that there had been a significant increase in bookings for hot spring packages since November.
...
Guizhou's provincial government released a guideline for the development of hot springs tourism last year.
It said the province, home to about 260 registered geothermal locations, will be built into a "hot springs power" by 2020, with the revenue generated expected to account for 20 percent of the province's gross tourism revenue by 2025.
By the end of December, 10 hot spring resorts had been built in Guizhou, with investment totaling about 2.3 billion yuan ($344 million), the guideline said'.
More China, from Gu'ergou (Sichuan), finishing with what is referred to as Tibet. That narrows it down a bit!

Crisp

Жители деревни Сябру Бенси после празднования Холи принимают ванну на горячем источнике 🔥 Всех с праздником Нового Года! 🙏 Residents of the village Syabru Bensi after the celebration of the Holy take a bath on hot springs 🔥 Happy New Year! 🙏
Lots of pictures, very few words.
Let's start with my love, Nepal. 
Above, north of Kathmandu, just short of the Tibetean border, the hot spring of Syabru Bensi. Following, north of western town of Pokhara, on y'r way to Manang, lies what I believe to be Chame hot spring. 
Both examples of rustic rural soaks. Note, society somehow prefers females to bathe elsewhere. Urgh.

Whilst trekking around the Annapurna mountain range in Nepal last year we came across these beautiful hot springs. They were situated right next to a violent rapid-ridden river flowing with cold glacial water from the 8,000m giants further up the valley.September 2017 in Nepal was unusually warm and mild - here, two local boys are enjoying the crisp and warm water. @mykindofnepal •••••••#lumix #g7 #lumixg7 #september#nepal #annapurna #annapurnacircuit#trek #trekking #boys #boy #water#blue #hotspring #tectonics #mountain#mountains #village #remote#gadventures #travel#streetphotography #waterbodies#photojournalism #back #body #stone#turquoise

Heading eastwards from Nepal along the Himalaya, we next hit the former kingdom of Sikkim. Above a nice vdo of Gangyap hot springs.
Then further east, it's Bhutan next on line. The caption says it all.

HOT SPRING | DUENMANG TSACHU: The most sacred place with the clean and amazing hot spring is in Duenmang must commonly known as Duenmang Tsachu. Bhutan has quite a lot of recomened hot spring around but this one is must to experience in our life, which cures lot of diseases of our body.

Swinging backwards we end up in India's Himachal Pradesh. Above it says Himachal Pradesh, but I have my doubts. Which hot spring are we talking about? Dhauladhar?
Below, for sure HP. 
Finally, the obligatory photo of Kheerganga (Likewise HP).

Swipe 👈.....I'm sure most adventure enthusiasts have flown into the open sky of Bir Billing. But I wonder how many have explored the not too famous destinations around this beautiful town. ....About an hr drive further on the road to Sherabling monastery is this beautiful hot water spring... Tatapani (Can be found on Google's map). ....A short 2 Kms trek takes u up there.The beauty of the place lies in its remoteness. ....As the boiling hot water descends to the river, there are small pools of water at various levels of temperature. Suit yourself and enjoy the hot springs. ___________________#exploretocreate #wilderness#hotsprings #hotspringsofindia#tatapani #birbilling #wanderlust#mypixeldiary #discover #throwback#travelbloggers #instapics#himachaldiaries #_hpics#incredibleindia #lonelyplanet #nature#river #mountains #rawadventures#adventurer #adventureismydrug#photooftheday📷 #outdoors#tripstagram #passionpassport #footloose #itchyfeet #beyondtravel#discovertheearth__________________@lonelyplanetmagazineindia @colours.of.himachal @instahimachal @himachalpictures @himachaltravlography @himachaltourismofficial @outlooktraveller @adventureismydrug@hippie_in_hills

Some text. 
Slightly dated (Mar. 8, 2018), tibettravelers has a few hot springs for travellers. Ten Tibetan soaks are mentioned:
'They are many Hot springs in Tibet. Almost all the Hot springs in Tibet are especially for local people so it is hard to find fancy hotel design Hot springs in Tibet but if you are local lover Travelers, this article is for you'.
Deeper into China: Sichuan. Ichongqing info (Oct. 11, 2018) has a list of local hot springs:
'Currently, there are over 3,000 hot springs discovered in China, and Chongqing is the city with abundant geothermal resource.
Chongqing is known as the “hot spring capital”, and the hot spring resorts here have a good reputation throughout the country. The history of developing hot springs in Chongqing can date back to the 5th century.
North Hot Springs and East Hot Springs in Chongqing have been in operation for a very long time. While there are some newer ones on the scene. The older resorts have a long history and rich culture while the newly developed hot springs have better facilities'.
A day before the same source announced this:
'It is expected the hot spring industry in Chongqing will achieve its ambitious goals by 2020, i.e. to build 200 hot spring resorts, 15 classic hot-spring-tour routes, a huge water park, a research center on hot spring, an education and training center for hot spring industry, and a health center'. 
Meanwhile ..., at the South Yao Autonomous County of Qingyuan:


China Daily (Jan. 15) has an article on it's wintery hot spring river:
'A river never freezes in Hinggan League of North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region, although the air temperature reaches as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius.
The river, located 74 kilometers away from the downtown area of Hinggan League's Arxan city and stretching for 20 kilometers, is called the Unfrozen River by the locals'.

1-й день похода. Карымшинские термальные источники. Нежишься в горячей воде на природе, а вокруг тишина, сопки и спокойствие. Так и сидели до ночи. Красоту звёздного неба не передать. Кажется, вот протянешь руку и схватишь одну - другую звёздочку. А овца чуть не сварилась! 😥 Heißes Wasser in der Natur. Es ist etwas entzückendes. Und lag bis in die Nacht. Sternenhimmel und Wasser. Magisch.#карымшинскиеисточники#камчатка #термы #природа #отдых#релакс #тишина #спокойствие 🏞️ #Thermalquellen #natur #relax#kamtschatka #stilke #ruhe
