Gasa Hotspring Tour

DetailItineraryPhotosMapFAQs

The Gasa hotspring tour will introduce you to three bathing houses with varying water temperatures in the Hot Spring of Gasa. Located a 15-minute walk from the nearest road is the Gasa hotspring.  Sometimes, geological fissures allow water to percolate to the earth’s fiery insides. Often, this water, now warmed by geothermal heat, surfaces again in pools known as natural hot springs. The Himalayas, the youngest fold mountain range in the world, is dotted by a profusion of such springs. In Bhutan these are known as Tsachus which means Hotsprings. The mineral-rich water is believed to heal a variety of diseases and ailments. Perhaps the best known Tsachu is the one in Gasa.

You could hence choose the one you’re most comfortable in. Although it is common practice to start at the coolest pool and then progressively move to the warmer ones. Be assured that animals in Bhutan, wild or domestic, haven’t learned how to open doors. So the bath houses remain free from contamination by them.
