Mengeruda Hot Spring, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia

4.0 (95 reviews) Spent Ranking #22 in Flores Hot Springs & Geysers

Worth a Stop over

Visited this hot spring on our way to Bajawa. More of a local picnic/relaxation place rather than a tourist attraction so be prepared for some plastic/ rubbish around the grounds. We enjoyed the 2 different ponds and the stream as well. Nice hot spring water to soak in. There is toilet/ change room facilities, just not well maintained. Other than the 2 hiccups mentioned, we enjoyed soaking in the hot ponds after travelling by road for many days. Worth a stop if you happen to be in Soa.

Mengeruda Hot Spring
Mengeruda hot springs located in the Village District Piga Soa, 25 km to the north of the city Bajawa. The water contains sulfur are believed to cure various skin diseases. Soaking in hot springs is very enjoyable, especially when the body tired from traveling. This place can be reached by motorbike, car, and public transportation.

Super Lush
Very hot water gushes out of this large spring, created by the volcanic geothermal activity found throughout the archipeligo. Mainly local and Indonesian visitors, as foreigners have to make quite an effort to get there [due to the unthinking authorities' decision to issue 30 day visas on arrival in Bali, instead of the former 60 days]. So don't expect 3 or 4 star facilities - although there were some basic bungalows to rent. In fact, don't expect two star facilities! This is a local attraction and by local standards is not bad at all. The lush green surroundings and simplicity of the place are plus points to my way of thinking. I thought the bus rides [from Labuan Bajo to Bajawa, then local bus to Soa] took us through fantastic rainforest surroundings. If going overland from Labuan Bajo to Kelimutu, I would recommend a brief stopover here.
