SoufreSulfuresSulfates
In India's Sikkim state, the Reshi springs release sulfurous water at 50°C in a simple open-air pool. The still largely undeveloped site offers a bathing experience close to the Himalayan wilderness.
Insider tip — Reshi Hot Springs cascade down a steep gorge in southern Sikkim near the Teesta River, framed by subtropical jungle and terraced cardamom farms climbing the hillsides. The sulfurous waters emerge at high temperatures and are believed sacred by both Hindu and Buddhist communities in the region. The approach involves a memorable descent through dense forest where langur monkeys and hornbills are frequently spotted.
