Reshi Hot Spring, also called "Phur Cha‑chu" in the area, is a cultural and therapeutic heaven, and a must addition to your Sikkim tour package. It is located on the banks of the Rangit River in West Sikkim, and 6 km from Legship. The naturally heated geothermal pools (40-50 °C) are famous for their mineral and sulfur-rich waters, which are believed to help with skin problems and joint pain.
Nearby, a quaint monastery and the mystical Lho Khandro Sang Phug, the “Cave of Occult Fairies,” add to the spiritual dimension. The background of thick Himalayan forests adds to the serene atmosphere, making the whole experience spiritual and introspective.
During the cold winter months, tourists often soak in the hot springs, followed by a visit to trekkers' huts and simple vendor stalls along the riverbank. It has a peaceful mix of wellness, spirituality, and Himalayan charm.
