Bhurung Tatopani is a village development committee in Myagdi District in the Dhaulagiri Zone of western-central Nepal. At the time of the 1991 Nepal census it had a population of 843 people living in 182 individual households.[1] Singa Tatopani Kunda in Myagdi district is known as a natural remedy. There is a belief that if you take regular bath in a pool of hot water of 50 degree Celsius for a week, you will be cured of diseases like joint, skin, gastritis, nerves, bath, back pain, limb swelling, stomach swelling and goiter. The water in the pool smells like birch bark.
There are three small and big tanks in the tank area. Three hundred people can dive into the pool at a time. Five hundred to one thousand people have been bathing in the pool daily. It is especially crowded from September to April. You have to pay Rs 150 for a bath.
