The Healing Power of Nature

Bhutan is also known as ‘The land of Medicinal Herbs’ and the herbal plants/soils and mineral rocks combine to give the hotspring a powerful natural healing of various medicinal values considered to cure many diseases and ailments. Back in the olden days, people heavily relied on the hot spring and hot stone bath as a curative therapy in the absence of modern hospitals or doctors.


It is a one and half hour walk down from the Zhemgang – Panbang Highway at the Gomphu zero point. Since the Dunmang hot spring is located inside the Royal Manas National Park, one can spot many different birds including the endangered Great Hornbill and various wild animals.


The Dunmang hotspring/tshachu is very popular for numerous healing and curative benefits such as migraines, gastritis, piles, body aches, joint aches and healing fractured/dislocated joints. Despite curing ailments, soaking your body in tshachu is a good way to relax your body and mind. There are 4 outdoor ponds with water temperature ranging from 10 degrees to 53 degrees and blends in perfectly with the forest and the Mangde Chhu / river flowing alongside.


For all guests’ accommodation there is a 2-storied guesthouse and a VIP room with proper washrooms and toilets pumped with the hot spring water. People from all over the country including few tourists come to this hot spring for therapy, relaxation and adventure.

Clinging on a huge rock towards the north end of the Tang valley lies the Thowa Drak Hermitage just like the famed Tiger’s Nest Monastery in Paro. From the valley or road point it is a stiff 3 hours hike uphill through the serene and peaceful forest. Sweeping views of the Tang valley and the landscape can be enjoyed along the way with a bird’s eye view from the main site.
