Beautiful laya-Gasa Trek

 


This trek is the combination of Jumolhari and the Laya Gasa treks and ranks as one of the finest trek. It begins from Paro in the west and follows the old trade rout to Tibet and then makes northward through the secluded valleys of Lingshi & Chebisa and the beautiful Laya. After Laya the trek turns southward to Gasa, where the natural hot spring is a great treat and finally the trek ends in Punakha after passing through semitropical forests. The highlight of this trek is the camping at the base of beautiful peaks such as Jumolhari, Tsherim Gang, Jichu Drake, Great Tiger Mountain(Gang Chen Ta) and several other peaks. It takes you through the isolated, unique & traditionally rich villages of Chebisa and Laya, passing through several nomadic campsites. Wild life such as Takin, Blue sheep and may be even snow leopard can be seen on this trek. It is truly a rewarding trek! If one is physically fit to overcome three days, he can easily do this trek as he builds up and acclimatizes after the 3rd or 4th day.
