Not much is known about the origins of this hot spring. The local tale is that villagers learned about its existence after seeing some British settling around the area. It was then developed in 1980 to become a recreational area and other facilities including a few extra pools were built.
This natural wonder brings natural heated water from an underground source into several pools. Up to 500 people can be accommodated in these pools and many of them (usually local) frequent it at night. The spring boasts a surface temperature of 56 degrees Celsius and an average flow rate of 5.4 litres per second.
The unique thing about Gadek Hot Spring’s pools is that the water contains hydrogen sulfide gas. Don’t worry as the water has been tested by officials and deemed to be at safe levels for human skin. It is widely believed that this gas is what contributes to the healing properties that the spring water is reported to have by the visitors who frequent it for that sole purpose. Furthermore, it has been said that having a dip in the pool helps cure skin diseases, muscle fatigue, increases metabolism rates and that other minerals found in the water helps rejuvenate the body
