A start off with a couple of interesting photo's from the area, as well as a tidbit or two.

Nepal. Above and reported on.

Tophotsprings reports (Dec. 1) on the more well-known Tatopani-Beni hot springs:

'Both the Tatopani Hot Spring and the Paudwar Hot Spring can be found in Tatopani, making this area a popular destination for those in search of geothermal waters for relaxation or medicinal purposes. Locals use the gentle waters of this natural mineral spring to relax and feel better, and it also draws a steady stream of curious tourists'.

A short report from The Rising Nepal (Feb. 3) on the same:

'The rural municipality has added infrastructure and managed the spring, increasing the number of visitors day by day, said Tilija. Three ponds have been constructed so that patients can submerge their bodies. Water tap has been installed for drinking water and toilets are constructed in the site. The bathing pool is covered with zinc sheets'.

Discovered the #Borong #HotSprings today. After one of the bumpiest rides on #twowheels ever, around 20 clicks later, we ended up at a huge hole in the road and had to walk from there. 40 minutes through a Nepalese #Shire (not joking) we hit the river and right next to it, this simple, yet #natural #pool of lovely #sulfury water. Our soakmates: #Sikkimese , #Nepalese , and #Bhutane , in which a few of the younger men spoke decent enough English for small talk. The hike back up through the Shire was an hour and a half long and decently intense ventute, but with the help of a local man, we located our transpo and were off on a whole different adventure getting back to #Ravangla. Quite the rewarding and overall incredible day! Stoke. | #Sikkim #India #Globetrotter #Winning #Travels #AreWeStillInIndia

Curlytales (Jul. 28, 2022) has a concise overview of five soaks in Sikkim.

Meanwhile, BBS reports (Oct. 10) on the efforts underway to restore Gasa hot spring.

'The Gasa hot spring or Gasa Tshachhu will take some time to reopen to the public. The management is still carrying out restoration works at the site. The hot spring which is believed to cure skin problems, joint pains, and digestive disorders, among others, was completely washed away by the Mochhu flood in August last year [2021]'.

More from China. iChongqing reports (Jan. 9) supposedly never ending push to establish the city as the world's hot spring capital, whatever that may mean / or be of significance.

'On January 6, the Second China Hot Spring Industry Expo opened in Beibei District, Chongqing, where abundant hot spring resources lie.

...

The exhibition scale of this industry expo is 10,000 square meters, with 6 themed exhibition areas and 200 booths. It brings together cutting-edge products and the latest technologies of the whole industry chain, such as international hot spring promotion agencies, hot spring resorts, and hot spring facilities and equipment companies.

One of the flagship products at this exhibition is the "Bath Aid Express," initiated by the Chongqing Charity Federation. The Bath Aid Express aims to ensure the cleanliness of the elderly by providing bath assistance services for the disabled, semi-disabled, and extremely poor elderly'.

This is a bath in a bus.

'At present, there are more than 40 hot spring tourist attractions, hotels, and resorts built in the city. Chongqing has become a famous hot spring tourism city centered on hot springs. The influence of the "World Hot Spring Capital" at home and abroad is continuously expanding'.

European Spa Association (ESPA) has an interview (Jan. 10) with two co-founders of the Shenzhen-Qianhai Sino-European Spa Academy. Why?

'With ancient Chinese legends and folk ballads extolling the enchanted healing powers of the water, thermal medicine has a long tradition in China dating back more than 2,000 years. On 15 November 2022 in Tengchong, Yunnan province in China, the first spa hotel dedicated to thermal medicine opened its doors'.

Basically the Academy has been trying to establish which soaks can be used for which ailment, so to say; it seems soaking for solace is not on their cards.

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

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)

📷 @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

Back to India, but then more to the west.

After Nepal instagrammer Hide_onsen packer hits India's Himal. He starts off with Vashisht hot spring, then Gurudawara, Shiv, Black Shiva and Shittakunda hot springs in Manikaran.

He relates his info more or less as such. On Kasol (Dec. 18, translated):

'Kasoru hot spring in Kasoru ♨️

While rounding off his visit to Himachal Pradesh with Tattapani (translated, Dec. 23):

'Tattapani hot spring in Tattapani ♨️ free here Tattapani is under the influence of the three years before the dam is field temperature that has been put in the river submerged
It was pretty sad now remains, of small over hot water and the hotel spa only bathtub one spring quality is a free-flowing sulfur odor considerably in hot water acceleration and 43 ℃ before and after

I believe he mentions that the (natural) hot springs are now submerged.
From the same date, an entry on the above mentioned hotel:

'Tattapani hot spring in Tattapani ♨️ bathing fee 600 yen here Tattapani is under the influence of the three years before the dam is field temperature that has been put in the river submerged remains Currently, only the hot springs of small over hot water and hotel hotels name Sandhya Hot Spring Health Care Tattapani

So! I finally did it! It feels so good when a 'fear' or an internal obstacle is overcome! 😎 In Japan, I lost the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful hot springs this country offers, this was because you are reqiured to enjoy them completely naked! 😱 I couldn't imagine myself getting into a hot tub lluuuucha!! (naked) with complete strangers and also with not that completely strangers! 😱😱 Even though we are from the same gender... 🙈🙈 So, after this, my 'modesty' became a personal issue to overcome (juuuust for hot springs! 😜). Aaand here I am! These are the Garam Chashma Hot Springs, not only hot, not only naked but also open-air! The bystanders at the back were waiting for tourists to get into the pool! 🧐🧐 Of course, I sent them my regards! 🤪.#tajikistan #travelwoman #freesouls #wanderlust #ewetjourney #thePamirs #passionpassport #letsgosomewhere #traveltheworld #hotsprings #mytinyatlas #theglobewanderer #neverstopexploring #dametraveler #globetrotter #planetdiscovery #roamtheplanet #travelstoke #unlimitedparadise #traveldeeper #exploringtheglobe #tasteintravel #bbctravel #doyoutravel #welivetoexplore #cntraveler #livetravelchannel #travelawesome #viajar #traveladdict

Heading over the water divide, above Tajikistan's Garm Chasma.
Below a rarity on this blog, a soak with no soakers! Kyrgyzstan apparently.

krishofs at Kyzyl-Suu:

👌Hot spring i Kyrgyz••••#kyrgyzstan #denstorekultureisen2019 #uazbuhanka #hotspring #travel #explore #4x4 #offroad #sonya6500 #HofstadNET

I looked up more info on this soak. A very confusing picture. Kyzul Suu is a village:

'Kyzyl-Suu is named for the "Kyzyl-Suu" river that runs through it'.

Visit Karakol adds:

'We offer you a tour to “Juuku” Hot Springs which is located in Chon Kyzyl Suu village 50-60 km west from Karakol. There is also a cave “Kyzyl Unkur” , the remains of Borombai manap’s life, who lived here in the 19th century and the rock "Sim-Sim Open". The hot springs leak in two buildings built in the form of yurt. The Capacity of each pool – 10-15 people. The duration of bathing not more than 30 minutes because of high temperature and radon.

But is the first photo above the size of a yurt? Or does the photo below fit the description better? Also VisitKarakol:

baibol.kg provided me with this info:

The Kyrgyz region is rich in beautiful reservoirs. Among them, mountain rivers and lakes of glacial origin predominate. In addition to them, there are several unique natural thermal springs in the country. They are divided by size, temperature regime and chemical composition of water. But one quality unites them: unconditional benefit for human health. To one of these natural health resorts are the thermal springs of Jyluu-Suu, which are located in the Issyk-Kul region of the country. The deposit of warm springs is located in 55 km from the city of Karakol, at an altitude of 2390 m above sea level. For the convenience of taking baths here was built two swimming pools, separated by a solid wall. They are in a concrete structure, made in the form of a yurt - the national home of nomadic Kyrgyz. Pools are designed for an average of 12 people, the water in them flowing. The temperature of the sources ranges from 32 to 45 degrees Celsius. The deposit refers to chloride-sulphate-sodium, with weakly mineralized water. Staying in Jyluu-Suu helps in the fight against diseases of the musculoskeletal system, skin lesions, various inflammations and diseases of the gastric system. For those who have problems with the respiratory system, it is recommended to visit the saline room located here. The residence time in water is limited at a time, and should not exceed 20 minutes. There are contraindications for people suffering from hypotension, hypertension and heart diseases. A walk through the area will give a lot of new impressions: along the gorge the magnificent Kyzyl-Suu river rolls its majestic waters. Also Kyzyl-Unkur Cave is nearby. The best time to travel to the thermal springs of Jyluu-Suu is the summer-autumn period.

So do we refer to these as Kyzyl-Suu? Or Jyluu-Suu (or alternatively Dzhyly-Suu)?

BBC (Jun. 20, 2013):

'I could have stayed in the Kerege-Tash Valley for a season, but a few days ride and one or two yurt visits later it was time to head south to the long-promised Jyluu-Suu hot springs on an old caravan route that once linked with the Silk Road. The springs are oddly set inside a rustic blue and white hut in the middle of nowhere, looking out onto spectacular valley views. After almost a week in the saddle, the bath came not a moment too soon'.

But Dzhuly-Suu also refers to a place north of the Elbrus (source):

'In the northern part of Mount Elbrus there is a tract of Jil-Su. It is a unique and beautiful place of Kabardino-Balkaria. Gili-Su is translated as «warm water» and is widely known for the healing qualities of mineral water. More than fourteen sources are scattered along the tract in the upper part of the Malki River at an altitude of 2380 meters. Struggling from under the ground hot narzan has unique healing properties, is saturated with mineral and organic substances. And it is translated as «a drink of the hero». He is considered to be the main source of strength for the tribes of the sled that lived in ancient times. The water temperature is quite high, it is plus 22-24 degrees'.

So where are we?

Anyway, elsewhere in Kyrgyzstan, a photo accompanying a Czech report by outdoorito to the hot springs of Altyn-Arashan:

Finishing off with Mongolia:

Tsenkher Hot Spring spa resort. This hot spring is the second hottest spring of Mongolia after Shargaljuut spring. Heat of the water reaches 86 celsius degree. It is an alkaline spring that contains hydrosulfuric acid and silica union and used for medical treatment. Tsenkher Hot Spring is good for treating rheumatism, neuralgia, muscular pain and arthalgia and help improving digestive system, restoring immunity after surgery and recharging yourself. www.classicjourneys-mongolia.com #centralmongolia #hotsprings #Mongolia

Pour ceux qui me suivaient quand j'étais au Kirghizistan, vous savez que je m'étais foulé le genou à 4000m d'altitude et que j'avais dû tout redescendre en étant blessée 🙄 Ce hot spring d'Altyn Arashan, le village d'arrivée, m'a vraiment fait du bien, même si j'ai continué à boiter avec mon attelle pendant plus d'un mois 😅

Sur ce throwback, bonne soirée 😘

Wild east

Someone by the name of jnburian has managed to find some great soaks while trekking on the eastern Siberian peninsula of Kamchatka. 
A couple of examples:

Enjoying natural hot water at natural hot spring, Tatopani Jumla-Nepal. It is believed that this water is good for your skin and cures skin related diseases too because of some chemicals that heat this water naturally underground. It was a good experience though.

Away from the main trekking tracks of Nepal, there's still lots of good soaking to be had.

'Morning hot springs (serie)'

Furtheron he writes:

'Close to the border of Nepal and Tibet (China) you find in a little place Tatopani with some stone made hot springs. In the early morning I could experience how this ritual is done by everybody and it was a beautiful scenery. Although it is not as sophisticated as hot springs in other countries, it is popular among the people of Nepal who seek solace from pain and go for a refreshing bath in the scalding waters said to have medicinal and healing powers. The showers are shaped as colorful lion head spouting the spring water between their fanged teeth. There is swimming pool, populated by little children taking turns to do back flips into the murky water. Woman take showers with elegance and the atmosphere among al the local people there is peaceful, fun and calm'. 

Fever
