Abstract
Out of a total number of 112 hot spring localities of Northwest Himalaya, 14 typical geothermal areas have been selected for this study. Chhumathang, Changlung, Tapri and Beda are better prospects with temperatures definitely in excess of 110?C. Very dilute solutions discharging at boiling temperatureand type fluidsare typical of Himalayan geothermal systems. There are indicationsthat hydrothermal activity has migrated northwards during the last years.
