Djili-Suu is one of Central Asia's most spectacular and adventurous thermal experiences — a natural radon spring accessible only in summer, when a mountain road opens through the Tian Shan range to reach a valley of volcanic hot springs at around 2,000 metres altitude in Kyrgyzstan's Chui Oblast. The bicarbonate radon waters emerge from fissures in the granite mountains and are channelled into rudimentary bathing pools operated from traditional yurt camps, offering an intensely authentic encounter with the nomadic traditions of the Kyrgyz people. The surrounding landscape of the Kyrgyz Tian Shan — glaciated peaks, alpine meadows and rushing torrents — is among the most dramatic mountain scenery in Central Asia. Djili-Suu draws a devoted following of Kyrgyz families and adventurous international visitors who value wilderness over comfort.
