Point of Interest for Reshi Hot Spring

Soak in the healing sulfur pools

Soak in sulfur-rich pools that are 40 to 50 °C next to the Rangit River. The warm steam, which is different from the cool Himalayan air, is thought to help with skin problems, joint pain, and breathing problems. It feels like a spa and is especially good for you in the winter.

Explore the "Cave of Occult Fairies" (Lho Khandro Sang Phug)

Lho Khandro Sang Phug, the "cave of occult fairies," is only a few steps from the pools. People believe that walking through the narrow tunnel will wash away sins and make wishes come true. You can see imprints of Guru Rinpoche's hat and mythical creatures.

Stay overnight in riverside huts

Stay overnight in simple huts by the river behind the pools to make the experience last longer. Bring your own sheets and cooking tools. Wake up to the sound of birds singing and water flowing. This is a peaceful place in nature, and there are seasonal stalls nearby where you can buy fresh food and snacks.

Set up a Picnic by the Rangit River

Some trails go through thick oak, rhododendron, and silver fir trees. Birdwatchers might see Blood Pheasants, White-capped Water Redstarts, and sunbirds, which add to the variety of life you can see in the forest.

Embark on a Short trek through the forest

Take a gentle stroll along the Rangit River and through oak-pine forests for 10 to 15 minutes. The walk gives you the peaceful sounds of the forest, the soothing views of the river, the fluttering of prayer flags, and the fresh Himalayan air, which is a nice break from the hot spring soak.
