Bogoda Hot Springs is a natural geothermal site in the hill country of Sri Lanka, where lightly mineral oligomineral water surfaces from the ancient Precambrian basement rocks of the island's central highlands. The springs, valued in Sri Lanka's rich thermal and Ayurvedic tradition, are visited for relaxation and well-being. The forested surroundings and proximity to the ancient Bogoda wooden bridge — one of Sri Lanka's oldest surviving timber structures spanning the Hali Ela River — give the site a remarkable cultural and natural setting.
Insider tip — Respect local customs when bathing.
