Information on booking international flights

This is a superb long distance trek in northern Bhutan along the border with Tibet. There are several rest days in order to help the acclimatisation process and as spare days in case we have any delays along the way!

The Laya Gasa trek travels through a cross section of Bhutan landscape from picturesque farmland, forests, alpine pastures to high passes. There are superb mountains views of Bhutan’s most impressive peaks including Chomolhari and Jitchu Drake.

This is a difficult trek but is a suitable objective for fit hill walkers. Flexibility and patience will probably be required at times!
