Gasa Hot Spring trek is a moderate trek, which also includes the sightseeing of Paro valley, Thimphu (capital of Bhutan), Punakha and the surrounding valleys. Highest altitude on this trek is approximately (3,840m/12,600f). The villages of Gasa with its hot springs and Laya are north of Punakha. No road extends from the trailhead at Tashithang up the valley as of yet and the only way to get here is on foot. Laya is a large isolated region in the far northwest of the Gasa district. The majority (roughly 800) of people in this area are from a group called Layap, who have their own language, customs and distinct dress.
