Experience the rejuvenating powers of Jhinu Hot Springs, a must-stop on the Annapurna South Circuit. Located in the picturesque village of Jhinu Danda near Modi Khola, this thermal spring is a haven for those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. The bicarbonatée water is rich in minerals, providing a unique therapeutic experience. As you soak in the warm waters, take in the breathtaking views of the Himalayas.
Insider tip — Jhinu Hot Springs lie beside the Modi Khola river gorge on the Annapurna Circuit, reachable after a steep descent from Chhomrong village. Trekkers descend to soak aching legs in open-air natural pools at around 42°C while the river thunders below and Himalayan peaks emerge above the treeline. Afternoon light turns the surrounding rhododendron forest gold and the pools are usually less crowded after 4 p.m.
