Taftan Hot Springs Balochistan

Taftan Hot Springs are located near the town of Taftan in the Chagai District of Balochistan, Pakistan's largest and most remote province, in the far southwest at the border with Iran — a stark volcanic desert landscape centred on Mount Koh-i-Taftan, a compound volcano with active fumarolic vents that is the geological source of the region's geothermal activity. The bicarbonate mineral waters emerging near the base of this active volcano carry mineral enrichment from significant geothermal depth, and have been used by border communities for centuries within a long tradition of natural thermal bathing associated with well-being. The remoteness of Taftan — a crossing point on the ancient Makran coastal route — makes its hot springs a uniquely raw and geologically dramatic thermal experience at the intersection of three nations' borders.
