Jomolhari Laya Gasa Trek is one of the most scenic treks of Bhutan. It offers amazing views of some of the most pristine and unspoiled landscapes in Bhutan. This fourteen-day journey begins at Drukgyel in Paro. It takes you through gorgeous alpine meadows, high mountain passes, and dense sub-tropical jungles.

The first five days of Jomolhari Laya Gasa Trek follow the same route as the Jomolhari Trek I through Jigme Singye National Park and offer awe-inspiring views of Mt. Jomolhari, Jichu Drake and Tsherimgang. On the sixth day, the path diverges and we will depart Lingshi for the campsite at Chebisa. Chebisa is a small charming village adorned with a beautiful waterfall.

Along the trail we’ll be able to have sight of indigenous animals such as blue sheep and Takins. Takins is 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 trek also offers a day to relax at the famous Gasa hot springs which will surely rejuvenate you.

Jomolhari Laya Gasa Trek 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 time for this trek are in April-June and Mid-September-Mid-November.
