Hot spring lost in mountains

#cityplaybook #india #ladakh #hotsprings

Visiting Panamik Hot Spring in Ladakh was a real adventure. The drive there is gorgeous—think dramatic mountain views and winding roads—but be ready for a bumpy ride as the last stretch is pretty rough. When we arrived, we were the only ones there, which made the whole experience feel extra special.

The entrance fee was just ₹30 per person, and while the facilities are basic, they have everything you need. There’s even a small café serving simple snacks and drinks, which was perfect after soaking in the hot springs. Speaking of the water—it’s seriously hot! The contrast between the chilly mountain air and the steaming pools is amazing.

But the real highlight is the view. Surrounded by towering peaks and untouched nature, it’s one of those places that feels completely peaceful. If you’re up for a bit of an off-the-beaten-path experience, Panamik is totally worth it. Just don’t expect luxury—this is all about raw, simple beauty.

A perfect stop if you want to relax in nature without the crowds. Bring a towel and take your time enjoying the quiet and the stunning scenery.
