Laya Gasa
Trek |
|
Laya Gasa Trek provides
visitors with some of the
most beautiful Bhutanese
mountain villages, the
unique culture and
appearance of the Layaps
(people of Laya district). 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. 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. |
