Cholo Cholo Hot Spring The Hidden Gem In Selangor

 Dear Readers, 

Cholo Cholo Hot Spring Hulu Tamu Selangor Is A Must Visit Hot Spring That Is Perfect For Family And Friends Short Getaway From Fast Pace City Life

Visit Cholo Cholo Hot Spring To Enjoy Geothermal Water Pool Soak

 

I had the opportunity to visit Cholo Cholo Hot Spring over the last weekend and I am thrilled as this is my very first time visiting hot spring in this region. This changed my understanding scientifically where all this while I thought that only places within the Pacific Ring of Fire or active volcanic areas only will have hot springs. 

 

However, non-active volcanic area may have geothermal features due to the rocks' temperature increases with depth because of the Geothermal Gradient. The deep water that percolates deep enough into Earth's crust will be in contact with the hot rocks, get heated and circulate back to the surface to form hot springs. 

 

Generally, all the hot springs in Peninsular Malaysia are genetically related to tectonic activities and these hot springs are located along the western flank of the Main Range Granite Batholith, concentrated along major fault zones. The temperature of the hot springs are less than 100 degree Celsius at the surface, and the one at Cholo Cholo Hot Spring can reach up to 52 degC. 

 

The Geothermal Water Source At Cholo Cholo Hot Spring

This geothermal water source was first discovered back in 2015 and this is the starting point of turning this discovery into its full potential, this is how Cholo Cholo Hot Spring started. The interior design within is inspired by the concept of Bali vibes.

Cholo Cholo Hot Spring is located slightly outskirts of the bustling city of Kuala Lumpur at Hulu Tamu, Selangor, approximately around 52 KM away with almost an hour's drive depending on the traffic. 

This is one of the must-visit hot springs that offer you a place to experience calmness where this serene hidden gem is surrounded by nature that surely lets you enjoy the tranquility and away from the fast pace and noise of the cities.
