This beautiful Laya and Lingshi trek leads through high
mountain passes (16,100 ft) into the wilderness above the
tree line – a world of snow peaks, glacial lakes, herds
of blue sheep, alpine blossoms and home of the hospitable
Layaps. The route also takes you through the therapeutic
hot springs of Gasa and ends in the sub-tropical valley
of Punakha.
