Trekking the Laya Gasa Trail as a solo female (part of a group) was a life-changing experience. I was initially nervous about the long duration and high altitudes, but the professional guides and supportive crew made the journey smooth and safe. The camaraderie with fellow trekkers, the simplicity of camp life, and the isolation from digital noise helped me reconnect with nature and myself. Visiting Laya village felt like stepping into a forgotten world — their unique headgear and customs were unlike anything I’d seen before. The final reward — soaking in Gasa hot springs — felt like a sacred farewell from the mountains. If you’re a woman looking for empowering adventure in the Himalayas, this trek is both challenging and deeply fulfilling.
