Dariya is a sulfurous hot spring set in the Almaty Region of Kazakhstan. Its water, at around 38°C, feeds an open-air pool suited to wild bathing amid the natural landscapes of Central Asia.

Insider tip — Dariya hot spring lies in the foothills of the Trans-Ili Alatau range in Kazakhstan's Almaty Region, where the northern flank of the Tian Shan Mountains produces sulfurous groundwater along active fault systems. The setting is dramatic — snow-capped peaks rising to over 4000 meters form the backdrop for a modest natural spring at roughly 1000 meters elevation. Bathing here combines the mineral benefits of sulfurous water with the cool, clean air of the Central Asian steppe edge. The nearby city of Almaty, once the Soviet capital of Kazakhstan, is easily accessible and makes a practical base for visiting.
