Baba Tengi Hot Spring is located in the remote Gorno-Badakhshan region of Tajikistan. Its iron-rich waters, at 38°C, emerge in the open and are enjoyed in an outdoor pool or through wild bathing.
Insider tip — Baba Tengi Hot Spring in the southern Pamir highlands sits near the Afghan border in the Wakhan Corridor — one of history's most strategic mountain passages, traversed by Alexander the Great's army, Marco Polo's caravans, and the Great Game intelligence officers of the 19th century. Iron-rich springs in this extreme high-altitude terrain have provided warmth and mineral nourishment to travellers and Pamiri communities navigating the world's most demanding mountain geography for over two millennia.
