Chubu Tshachu is a natural hot spring complex near Punakha in Bhutan, where oligomineral and mildly sulfurous waters emerge from the Himalayan foothills into bathing pools used by both local communities and trekking tourists. The Punakha Valley, one of Bhutan's lowest and warmest valleys, is home to the magnificent Punakha Dzong at the confluence of the Pho Chhu and Mo Chhu rivers, and Chubu Tshachu offers a therapeutic complement to exploring the valley's cultural and natural riches. Bhutanese hot springs are maintained as public goods under the kingdom's Gross National Happiness philosophy, ensuring access for all.
