Book Sangtu!

Elise_P, Sep 2026

Sangtu guided my friend and I through the entire experience, teaching us the history and significance of the water purification ceremony. He was very knowledgeable, answering all of our questions. He told is what to do at each fountain so that we were respectful while getting the full experience. Sangtu took so many pictures and videos that turned out great! I would recommend him as a guide. It can be a little slippery when you get into the pool, but they have put mats down. The bottom of the pool was full of smooth rocks. It didn't hurt my feet but my friend stubbed her toe so just be mindful when getting into the pool. Oh, and there are fish in the water. They are used to people in the water so they don't bother anyone but I was not mentally prepared to see the fish.
