Termal'nyye Istochniki — Russian for 'Thermal Springs' — is a geothermally heated mineral spring complex in Georgia, its name straightforwardly describing the defining characteristic of these naturally warm mineral water outlets in the geothermally active landscape of the South Caucasus. Georgia's volcanic and tectonic geology produces a remarkable variety of thermal springs, from the famous sulphurous baths of Tbilisi to numerous unnamed or generically named springs distributed across the country's mountains and valleys. These thermal springs offer naturally warm, mineral-rich water in the living tradition of Georgian geothermal wellness culture.

Insider tip — These thermal springs — 'Termal'nyye istochniki' — lie in the high Caucasus near the Georgian Military Highway east of Kazbegi, where volcanic and tectonic forces heat groundwater beneath the Greater Caucasus ridge. The coordinates place the source at roughly 2000 m elevation, surrounded by alpine meadows and the snow-capped peaks visible from the famous Gergeti Trinity Church. Bathing here is a raw mountain experience, with cold mountain air above and warm sulfurous water below.
