The Laya Gasa Trek was a dream for someone like me who loves to combine trekking with authentic cultural experiences. Walking through remote villages and finally reaching Laya, I was captivated by the distinctive dress and lifestyle of the Layap community. They welcomed us with butter tea and stories of their yak herding traditions. The journey there was scenic beyond words — thick forests, cascading rivers, and towering Himalayan peaks all around. Even the hot springs in Gasa at the end of the trek added a rejuvenating touch to the whole experience. Bhutan’s commitment to Gross National Happiness truly shines through in these far-flung regions. This trek is perfect for those seeking both adventure and cultural insight.
