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.

18.04.2021 Карымшенские источники
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.

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 😱

Droned 


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)

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.

Chicks
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😌

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.

Local
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'.

Beyond the northern Chinese border (and beyond Mongolia), we're in Russia. In the summer so to see above, on the edges of the Baikal lake. Below we head into Kamchatka:

Чем известен Вашист, так это своими горячими серными источниками, с кипяточной водицей неустанно текущей из труб. Ванны находятся на территории Темпла, и конечно же раздельные для мужчин и женщин. В бабской купальне обычно аншлаг, шум, гам, толкотня. Но мне посчастливилось там оказаться в сообществе всего двух женских особей, и даже сделать фотографию, что в обычном раскладе "аншлага" не вышло бы.⠀Омовение тушки в серной кипящей водице очищает и окрыляет, ощущение что сменил ты кожу и тело блестит и сияет!...#вашист #горячиеисточники#серныеисточники #темпл #горячиеванны#сернаявода #живыеисточники#источники #источникижизни #источник#источникжизни #источниквдохновения#источникивдохновения #мояиндия#гималаи #омовение #очищение

Another major perk of the Wakhan Corridor was the roadside natural hot springs! Jan and I cycled with Celine and Chantal for a few days and had a relaxing spa break mid morning, overlooking the Afghan valley. We all got a little sunburnt, but I was thrilled to finally use the bikini I have been carrying around for five months! Thanks @theyccrollin for getting out into the cold wind to take the photos#gobibike
The experience from the gobibike blog:
19th June
Between Eshkashem and Langar (on Tajik side). 64k
We cycled for a couple of hours along beautiful valleys and came to a natural hot spring right by the roadside. There were a couple of young boys in it, swimming in the shallow pool totally naked, and we debated a little if we could go in too, and I made the executive decision that we really should; one doesn’t find hot springs very often in the UK so I felt it was an opportunity not to be missed. It was rather fun! The boys quickly scrubbed their hair with soap and hopped out, and at last that bikini I have been carting around for five months was put to use, and we lazed in the lukewarm water, looking across the valley to the Afghan shores, towering mountains overhead, the blazing sun beating down on us and the wind picking up behind us, and discussed quite a range of topics and passed away nearly two hours before dragging ourselves out into the cold breeze to continue cycling.
