  • The Laya Lingshi Gasa trek is considered one of the most scenic treks in Bhutan, offering amazing views of some of the most pristine and unspoiled landscapes in Bhutan. This fourteen day, 217 kilometer journey begins at Drukgyel Dzong in Paro and takes you through gorgeous alpine meadows, high mountain passes and dense sub-tropical jungles before terminating in Damji in Tashithang.
    The first five days of this trek follow the same route as the Jhomolhari trek through Jigme Singye National Park and offers awe-inspiring views of Jhomolhari, Jichu Drake and Tsherimgang peaks. On the 6th day the path diverges and you will depart Lingshi for the camp site at Chebisa, a charming little village adorned with a beautiful waterfall of crystal clear water.
    Along the trail you 'll be able to spot indigenous animals such as the blue sheep and Takin, the national animal of Bhutan. You'll travel through remote mountain villages inhabited by Layaps (people of Laya), a distinct segment of the Bhutanese society with unique culture, traditions and appearance. This is one of the more difficult treks offered in Bhutan due to the high altitudes and steep ascents and descents along the path. The best seasons to complete this challenge are in April-June and Mid-September-Mid-November.
