What to expect
You'll be picked up early and driven uphill on rough tracks as darkness fades. The jeep bounces and jolts—bring water and wear layers, as the summit is cool before sunrise. Once the sun breaks, you'll have 30–45 minutes to absorb the view, then descend to the hot springs. The water is genuinely warm, even hot in patches, and the setting feels raw rather than manicured. You'll have time to soak and rinse off, then eat breakfast nearby before returning to your base. Expect dust, bumpy roads, and a fair bit of waiting around for the light show.
Good to know
Wear sturdy footwear and moisture-wicking clothes. Bring a towel and dry kit for the springs. Not suitable if you have back problems or are pregnant. The jeep ride is genuinely rough; motion-sickness tablets may help. Book the night before to confirm pickup times.
