Madiyan Valley Hot Springs
Мадиян
A pastoral valley south of Murghab, dotted with simple hot spring pools and Kyrgyz herders' yurts.
Madiyan Valley is a broad valley southwest of Murghab. In summer, the grass is lush, and Kyrgyz herders' yurts and yak herds are scattered across it. Natural hot springs in the valley have been enclosed to form simple bathing pools, where you can soak beneath the snowy peaks. You can arrange an off-road vehicle and yurt accommodation through META. The journey is about 1 to 1.5 hours one way on dirt tracks, and it is often combined with the Shakhty Cave as a day trip. Facilities are basic, so bring your own towel and slippers.
