Mogok Hot Springs is a natural geothermal site in the legendary Mogok Valley of Mandalay region, Myanmar, the world's most celebrated source of rubies and sapphires and a mining region that has produced the finest pigeon-blood rubies for over a thousand years. The bicarbonate- and sulphate-rich thermal water surfaces from the metamorphic marble geology of the Mogok Stone Tract — the same limestone-marble geology that creates the perfect conditions for ruby formation — adding geothermal phenomena to the already extraordinary geological heritage of this globally significant gemstone region. The Mogok valley's extraordinary combination of gem mining, lush highland scenery, and diverse hill tribe communities makes it one of Myanmar's most fascinating and least-visited regional destinations.

Insider tip — Treat yourself to a thermal break at Mogok hot springs, where the bicarbonate water reaches 40°C.
