Nestled in the mountainous Chittagong Hill Tracts region of Bandarban, Garm Springs offers a serene natural setting. This sulfurous thermal spring is a popular destination for relaxation and rejuvenation. The area's unique geology has created a rich environment for flora and fauna to thrive. Visitors can soak in the warm waters and enjoy stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
Insider tip — Garm Springs emerge in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of southeastern Bangladesh, a rare geothermal anomaly in the Bengal lowlands where warm sulfurous water seeps through limestone formations in lush forested terrain. The springs are little-known internationally but are revered locally and draw pilgrims to a small Hindu shrine at the source. The surrounding Sitakunda hills offer short treks through eco-park forest to viewpoints overlooking the Bay of Bengal coast.
