Jarty Gumbez Hot Spring
Jarty Gumbez
A remote hot spring camp on the way to Lake Zorkul, with Marco Polo sheep visible on the surrounding plateau.
Jarty Gumbez lies about 110 km south of Murghab on a dirt road. It is a remote camp and guesthouse with a hot spring pool, at an altitude of around 4,000 m. Marco Polo sheep roam the surrounding plateau, and the site serves as the gateway to Lake Zorkul Nature Reserve, which borders the Wakhan region of Afghanistan. The camp can only be reached by four-wheel-drive vehicle. Visits typically last 1–2 nights, and you should book in advance through META or the guesthouse.
