Tatta Pani is a hot springs site in the Neelum Valley of Azad Kashmir, in northern Pakistan. Its name means "hot water" in Urdu, reflecting the warm, sulphurous mineral springs that emerge here. Set amid the dramatic mountain scenery of the Kashmir region, the springs are valued both for bathing and for their reputed therapeutic qualities.
Insider tip — Tatta Pani — 'hot water' in Punjabi — emerges directly from the banks of the Neelum River in Azad Kashmir, where geothermal vents push steaming sulfurous water up through river gravels. The contrast between cold turquoise river water and the 40°C spring pools creates natural mixing zones of perfect bathing temperature. The surrounding valley is lined with walnut and apple orchards. The site is especially atmospheric in autumn when fall foliage frames the steaming pools.
