The Dagejia Geothermal Field is a high-temperature, high-enthalpy geothermal field located in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. It has formed along the bank of Lagetzangbo River as it leaves Dajiamang Cuo Lake. Hot springs have microbial mats left by sulfate-reducing bacteria. The geothermal field has been explored since the 1970s, and a number of wells have been drilled to explore the field’s potential.
The geothermal area is large – along the river is approximately one-kilometer long sinter terrace and here are found at least 100 boiling springs. Many springs are not so hot and locals love to bathe in them. The total output of all springs is around 2 million liters per day.
According to a 2015 report published by the Tibet Bureau of Exploration & Development of Geology and Mineral Resources, the site features around 100 hot springs of which 20 or so are geysers; four of these are considered large geysers, with two erupting up to 18–20 meters high.
Local people here have a yearly festival in September – Gama Rije or Tibetan Bathing Festival. This is also a nature-protected area: Dagajia Geothermal Geysers Natural Reserve.
