Trip Overview

Besides the dramatic views of Mount Jomolhari, the trek offers spectacular views on Jichu Drake and Gangchhenta (Great Tiger Mountain). Between Jangothang and Laya, the trail hardly goes below 4,000 m 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.
