Tattapani Hot Spring
Sub Place Details: Tattapani Hot Spring is a natural geothermal wonder located near the banks of the Sukari River. The name "Tattapani" is derived from the local words for "Hot Water." This site is unique because the hot water emerges directly from the riverbed and the surrounding earth. The water i s rich in sulfur and other minerals, which gives it a distinct aroma and reputed medicinal properties. Locals and tourists alike flock here to take a dip, believing the water can cure various skin ailments and joint pains. The spring consists of several small outlets where the steaming water bubbles up. The government has developed some concrete tanks to collect the water for easier bathing. Surrounded by the rustic landscape of Latehar, it offers a primitive yet rejuvenating spa experience. It is especially popular during the cold winter months when the steam rising from the ground creates a mystical atmosphere.
