–          Wellness Center seamlessly integrates with the serene environment of the Himalayan region and brings an unforgettable spatial experience for the visitors.

–          The upper part of the complex resembles local cave sanctuaries. It hosts accommodation units and a restaurant offering guests a panoramic view.

–          The lower part of the complex evokes the mountain rocks and magma flowing down to the reservoir. It consists of chambers hosting health services for body and mind and golden corridors connecting the whole center together.

–          The floating pontoon bridges allow comfortable barrier-free use of thermal springs, ensuring a holistic wellness experience.

–          Self-sufficient environment, use of local materials (stones) and innovative light-weight materials (plastic and metal sheets) decrease the need for transportation of goods, energy sources and construction materials.
