The Gasa – Laya – Jomolhari – Lingshi trek is considered one of the most scenic treks in Bhutan. Running along the border with Tibet, the trek offers amazing views of some of the most pristine and unspoiled landscapes in Bhutan. This tour is combined with trekking to the highlands of Laya and Lingzhi where the nomads of northern Bhutan dwell. The trek offers you a variety of trekking conditions such as beautiful mountains with breathtaking views of the Himalayas and takes you through Bhutan’s popular mountain peaks such as Jomolhari and Jichu Drake. Laya is a place in Gasa District which is situated in northern Bhutan. It is a remote place consisting of about 110 houses.

Walking among the mountains and lakes is a stunning experience and possibly  the highlights of the journey.
