Settled amid high mountain peaks, close to Siachen glacier, the highest and coldest battlefield of the world, Panamik village is famous for its natural hot water springs — Panamik Hot Water Springs.
The small but beautiful village is about 140km from Leh, little beyond Sumur village towards Siachen glacier base camp. Panamik is beyond Sumur village and Samstanling monastery. Hot water springs of Panamik are rich in sulphur which is good for health. People from surrounding villages come to Panamik to take dip in hot springs as sulphur is considered good for people suffering from obesity and joint pains.
Hot water is oozing out of the earth at many places in the village. Villagers have made special baths (public bathrooms) where tourists can also take dip. Local mahila mandal of the village also has formed a society and is running a bath with clean rooms. The water is too hot to take dip, so cold water is mixed with the water. One can take bath by paying a nominal fee to the women who also serve tea and coffee. They use this money in maintenance of the area.
The bath has enough parking space. Panamik is also base for trek to Ensa monastery which houses ancient Buddhist murals and manuscripts.
