Hot news from the many hot springs of the Himal. 

And beyond, witness the above (Russia's Kamchatka).

New York Times (Feb. 9) / Greta Rybus has a list of "stunning" hot springs of our globe. On the Himachali hot springs (India):

'Each day at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., a priest named Mahant Shiv Giri performs puja, a set of religious rites, in a small temple at the hot springs near the Gaj River in the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh.

First, he bathes himself in the hot springs, washing his body and face in thermal water. “The significance of bathing is to purify yourself,” he said. “It is a way to mark your attendance in the house of God.”

Many of the other hot springs in Himachal Pradesh are in and around temple structures, too. In the larger town of Manikaran, Sikh and Hindu temples sit snugly against each other on the banks of the Parvati River, sharing the same potent thermal source.

Hot spring Journeys also has a (short) list (Feb. 19) of Nepali hot springs:

'Nestled amidst the majestic Himalayas, Nepal offers not just breathtaking landscapes and ancient wonders, but also a hidden gem - its natural hot springs. Known locally as "tatopani," these geothermal oases provide a unique blend of relaxation, rejuvenation, and cultural immersion.

People from all over the world visit Nepal in order to admire the natural beauty and experience the cultural heritage and diversity of the society and the socio-cultural environment. During their visits, people often use the hot springs for spa and wellness purposes, mostly along the famous trekking routes such as:

• Annapurna circuit (the Ghorepani Tatopani and Bhurung Tatopani - Dana Tatopani)
• Singha hot spring along Myagdi Khola, close to Beni Bazaar
• Tatopani along the Kaligandaki River Valley towards upper Mustang
• Syabrubesi hot spring along the Bhotekoshi River - Langtang Valley
• Kodari hot spring along the Bhotekoshi Nadi (Nepal - China boarder)'.

Hot spring journeys (Feb. 24) again, a list of visits to 5 hot springs in the Kingdom of Druk.

An article from TibetTravel.org (Nov. 6, 2024) concerning the traditional bathing festival as celebrated by Tibeteans.

'The Tibetan Bathing Festival, with a rich history spanning over 800 years, is an annual celebration held in early autumn and lasting for one week. During this time, locals gather by the riverside to bathe and wash clothes, believing the ritual brings good fortune and health'.

Their selling point:

'Additionally, you can take a half-day trip to enjoy Dezhong Hot Spring near Lhasa. Located 119 kilometers from downtown Lhasa at an altitude of 4,300 meters, Dezhong Hot Spring is one of Tibet’s most famous hot springs. With a history dating back 1,400 years, it’s known for its healing mineral waters and stunning alpine scenery, offering the perfect blend of relaxation and natural beauty.

For a more relaxing experience, you can try a traditional Tibetan medicinal bath. This ancient practice uses herbal teas, special minerals, and calming rituals to help relax your body and mind. It is believed to detoxify, restore energy, and bring balance, drawing from centuries of Tibetan healing traditions and Buddhism'.

Rove me has a list (May 23, 2023) of Tibetean hot springs to visit in the upcoming years.

'If you want to relax after a long trip or just a reprieve from the daily routine, the best way to do so is to visit one of the hot springs in Tibet. With over 1,000 hot springs, Tibet can offer you fantastic options for relaxation'.

Oddly, the article then only mentions 2 (or 3)!

ExPlore with Phub TsheRing (Sep. 27, 2024) has a short vdo on the Tibetan hot spring of Tirdum:

'Sacred Nude HotSpring of Guru Rinpoche in Tibet:

Here I would like to share some of my experiences soaking in the very sacred Tidrum/Tidro Tshachu in full naked.

When I first visited the sacred Tidrum Tshachu with my clients,I was told that we shall not soak in with our clothes on and have to pay ¥200 as a fine if we don’t soak fully naked..

I really felt awkward as I never took bath all naked especially in front of many people but my senior clients told me that there’s nothing to fell awkward as we are carrying only one thing and everyone knows about it and on top of that we used same practices in Bhutan in the olden times..

I took all my clothes but smartly used my right hand to cover my front part and then immersed till neck in the corner..

We can see all types of pistols there as it’s an etiquette for Tibetans not to soak in a hotspring with your clothes on.

We should be alert especially when we get out of the hotspring as there’s big chances of kissing someone’s pistol..

But now we Bhutanese started wearing underwear..

Tidrum hotspring is said be created by Guru Rinpoche using his Dorji.

The average temperature of the spring is 40 (degree). It is known to contain sulfur, limestone, bitumen, coal, and other minerals. According to Tibetan medicine, these can alleviate gastric disorder, tumors, paralysis, rheumatism, dermatitis, poor blood circulation, and general debility over a one week stay'.

Mutikonka returns to Kangding (Apr. 10) Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan:

'I debussed at what I thought was the edge of town and hiked a further 2km up more of the same, along a busy road that obviously led to a high school, judging by the number of kids in school uniform traipsing past saying 'hello' to me. I tried and failed to find the plain old hot springs building by the river where I had taken a dip about 15 years previously, but it now looked like it had been replaced by a grand Hot Springs Hotel resort complex'.

Finally, Siberia. The Pinnacle Gazette (Feb. 1) mentions how Tyumen hot spring is closing for a revamp:

'Tyumen's well-known hot spring, Volna, is set for temporary closure starting April 14 until June 16, 2025, as part of significant renovation plans announced by the owners via their official social media channels.

The renovation aims primarily at updating the hot spring facilities, including the modernization of the pool and repairs to the bath complex. "Plans are extensive, but the main goal is to completely update the pool and renovate the bath complex," the owners stated.

...

Interestingly, many locals report visiting the hot springs less frequently, partly due to the relatively high costs associated with them. Journalist Anatoly Kuznetsov recounted his recent trip to one of the thermal resorts during the holiday weekend, expressing disappointment with the experience, indicating the complex dynamics of local attendance versus tourist interest'.

Делюсь сокровенным.

Был невероятный проект, журнал и фонд - @calvertjournal

Теперь у него есть цифровой архив New East.

Это слепок и фиксация особенной эпохи: гениальные исследования, самые красивые фотографии, культурные особенности регионов, о которых редко говорят. Фонд помогал исследовать, давал гранты и поддерживал изучение от Польши до Дагестана.

The Calvert Journal - это онлайн-издание про культуру в Восточной Европы, Балкан, Кавказа и Центральной Азии.

Выпускался в период с 2013 по 2022 год.

Рекомендую статьи про обряд невесты на Пинеге, к полевой работе над которым имею отношение, 3 статьи про общественную баню, наготу и здоровье и, конечно, санатории СССР.

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".

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 😱

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 — 🧡

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)

Tree cave hot spring

树洞温泉

有点意思

#travel #trip #photography #photographer #China #yunnan #mangshi #hotsprings #treecave #treecavehotspring #草莓行摄 #树洞温泉 #温泉

Starting off in China.

The Tree Cave Hot Spring is located in Mangbang Village, Zhefang Town, Mangshi. Formely known as Luxi, Mangshi is in western Yunnan, closer to the border with Burma.

I actually stumbled on a great overview of Yunnan's soaks from Luju Bar (17 Sep. 2020) entitled:

'17 wild hot springs around Kunming suitable for bathing'.

The around should not be taken too literally, Mangshi for instance is a 7 hours drive ...

Another find (pictured above) has been this article from Ninefeetapart (Feb. 4, 2020):

'It is the world's largest hot spring waterfall, and it is also the only hot spring in the world that can cure diseases (the highest content of radon in domestic hot spring water). It is the only cliff hot spring in the world. That's right, it's Jiu Jiu Li Hot Spring in Luoji Mountain. Today I will take you to find out.

Luoji Mountain Ninety-Ninety-Kilometer Hot Spring is located about 45 kilometers south of Xichang City, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China. The highest peak is 4359 meters above sea level. The hot water of 40 degrees per year cascades down from the cliff of Mid-mountain. The highest waterfall falls 50 meters. The hot spring waterfall is composed of hundreds of hot spring waterfalls of various sizes, forming a hot spring waterfall group with a width of more than 200 meters, which is very spectacular'.

The next is also accredited to Sichuan, probably the more mountainous area towards Tibet.

Part 1

After volunteering two weeks our work exchange was over.

🏔️It was now time to explore, Mountains & Hiking are what define Kyrgyzstan it the best way.

The scenery is the highlight of the country so of course we had to go for a hiking trip😊

We got told about some free hotsprings without doing much more research, besides the route we packed our things, leaving our baby chicks with our host family🐤

⛺ We put up the tent just 5km up the trail as we had started late, before the sun set we cooked some noodles, having an early night to have enough energy next day

😴It was a short night because Krystal wanted to start at 5 in the morning so we started at 6😅

The hike was not the easiest but we made it and saw the hot springs which was not what we expected just a pot of warm water but we went inside anyway because after 20km walking we deserved this 😌

🇩🇪:

Teil 1

Nachdem wir 2 Wochen auf der Farm gearbeitet haben war es Zeit das Land zu entdecken

🏔️ Berge und Wandern sind was Kirgistan am besten definiert.

Die Landschaft ist das Highlight im Land also mussten wir nen Trip in die Berge machen😊 uns wurde erzählt dass es auf ner Route heiße Quellen gibt klang gut also nichts wie hin😅 wir haben die Küken in der Familie gelassen🐤

⛺5km nach dem Start der Route bauten wir das Zelt auf um am nächsten Tag mit viel Energie los zu marschieren, Nudeln wurden noch gekocht und dann ging es ins Bett

😴 Müde und verschlafen ging es um 6 uhr los weil Krystal um 5 starten wollte😅

Die Route war nicht die leichteste doch erreichten die heißen Quellen zwar nicht was wir erwarteten jedoch ging es trotzdem ins Wasser denn warm war es immerhin und nach 20km haben wir uns das verdient😌

📷 @nvkarasevХодуткинские горячие источники – это памятник природы ландшафтно-бальнеологического характера, уникальный геотермальный объект. Они расположены в северо-западной части Ходуткинского массива на большой плоской поляне, окруженной березовым лесом. Термальная вода поступает из многочисленных грифонов (температура в которых достигает 70°С) и собирается в один ручей. На дне и с боков ручья тоже бьют ключи, и он превращается в настоящую горячую речку, шириной до 30 метров и глубиной до полутора метров.#Камчатка #Kamchatka #вулкан #volkano #горы #mountains #горячиеисточники #hotsprings #джиптур #offroad #горныйтуризм #hiking #путешествие #travel #приключение #adventure #mountains_rus #russia_travel_world #russia_traveling #russia_traveling_ #madrussians #путешествиепороссии #allaboutadventures #россия #russia #туризм #tourism #FreeTravelKamchatka #FreeTravel

Farthest away from around the Himal, Kamchatka represented by a wintery soak at Khodutkinskiye hot springs.

Following more from Khamchatka, this time a resort with it's own hot springs, aptly named Snow Valley, as well as a photo from a more natural hot spring near Paruntuka.

The last photo is of Ak-Suu Kench hot spring, Kyrgyzstan.

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'.

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.

Jomo Adventures Bhutan

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.

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:

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!
