Jarty Gumbez Hot Spring Pool is a naturally warm geothermal spring in the Jarty Gumbez area of the Pamir Mountains in Kyrgyzstan, set at extreme high altitude in one of the world's most remote and spectacular mountain landscapes, where the geothermal activity of the Pamir geological zone brings warm, mineral-rich water to the surface amid the permanent snowfields and glacier-carved valleys of the Roof of the World. The spring pool offers bathers the extraordinary experience of soaking in geothermally warmed water in one of the highest and most isolated mountain environments on earth, with the massive peaks of the Pamirs rising on every side in an overwhelming landscape of natural grandeur.
Insider tip — Jarty Gumbez Hot Spring Pool sits at extreme altitude on the Pamir plateau near the Tajik-Kyrgyz border, surrounded by vast open steppe at over 3 500 m. The sulfurous water pools in rough stone basins at around 42°C, offering a surreal soak under a sky unblemished by light pollution. Bring warm layers — the air temperature drops sharply after sunset regardless of season.
