[ PRGM-13-6-27 ] Laya Gasa Trek

The first part of the Laya Gasa Trek goes along the same route as the Jomolari Trek I right till Lingshi. Besides the unforgettable views of Mount Jomolhari, the trek offers spectacular views on Jichu Drake, Gangchhenta (Great Tiger Mountain). Between Jangothang and Laya the trail hardly goes below 4,000m and one has good opportunities to spot blue sheep or even takin. Some beautiful Bhutanese mountain villages, the unique culture and Appearance of the Layaps (people of Laya district) and finally a day of Relaxation at the Gasa hot springs add to an extremely rewarding trekking Experience. All in all, the Laya Gasa Trek is considered to be the most Beautiful trek of Bhutan, only to be beaten by the tough Snowman Trek
