Trekking in Bhutan

The Classic Laya Trek offers the most incredible trekking adventure along an off-beaten path, with plenty of acclimatization. Bhutan is well-known for its warmth, hospitality, and diverse trekking opportunities. Laya is a perfect route to capture a complete picture of Bhutan; you can taste Bhutan’s famous butter tea, yak milk, and locally brewed wine, watch a cultural program, and remain a mute witness to the authentic Bhutanese culture and customs.

The Classic Laya Trek is a challenging yet rewarding adventure. It allows you to immerse yourself in Bhutan’s natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. Whether you are an experienced trekker or a first-time adventurer, this trek will be an unforgettable experience. It helps you understand this enchanting kingdom in the Himalayas. The route to Laya goes through Shana Camp, Soi Thangthangkha, Jangothang, Lingshi, Chebisa, Shomuthang, Robluthang, and Limithang. It has breathtaking scenery, tranquillity, and exoticism. You will continue on a network of well-maintained and rock-strewn trails through Koina, Gasa Hot Spring, Goen Damji, and Tashithang. Each of these destinations has its own distinct character: unique geographical features, surreal mountain vegetation, quaint hamlets, dzongs, open pastures, indigenous people, art, and history are juxtaposed amid the seclusion and simplicity of Bhutan. The hot spring bath at Gasa Tshachu is an additional treat that makes your journey more pleasurable.

This Classic Laya Trek is a perfect trekking trip to explore a complete picture of Bhutan. Be ready to explore the Land of happiness with us!
