“This is one of Bhutan’s finest trek. The route starts from Paro through high alpine country, to Chomolhari camp. It then goes via remote Lingshi to Laya and exits via Gasa and Punakha. The trek leads through high mountain passes 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.”
