Located in the heart of Tibet, Yangpachen Hot Springs is a must-visit destination for those seeking thermal relaxation. Situated at an altitude of 4,200m, this sulfur-rich hot spring is part of the largest geothermal field in Asia, spanning over 400 km². Soak in the warm waters and experience the unique blend of Tibetan culture and natural beauty.
Insider tip — Acclimatization is absolutely essential before Yangpachen (4200 m) — arrive from Lhasa (3600 m) and wait a minimum of 2 days. The hot springs aid acclimatization by improving circulation. Views of 7000 m peaks from the pools — spectacular.
