The Spirit of Your Stay

"The Laya Community Guesthouse is a community-run lodge perched at 3,800 metres in the remote Laya village, accessible only by foot or horse along the Snowman Trek route. Run by the Layap people, famed for their distinctive conical bamboo hats and semi-nomadic yak-herding culture, the guesthouse provides a rare opportunity to sleep in an authentic highland community. Warmth, yak-butter tea, and genuine smiles are guaranteed even at this extraordinary elevation."

Gasa Tsachu Guest House

"Gasa Tsachu Hot-Spring Lodge is the only fixed accommodation adjacent to Bhutan's famous Gasa hot-spring bathing complex, positioned at roughly 2,600 metres in a remote northern valley. The lodge's simple stone-and-timber rooms open onto mountain views, and guests can soak in the natural sulphur pools credited with curative properties for skin and joint ailments. It serves as the key rest stop for trekkers completing the legendary Snowman Trek and the Trans-Bhutan Trail."

Gasa District Guesthouse

"The Gasa District Guesthouse is a government-operated lodge in Gasa Town, the administrative centre of one of Bhutan's most sparsely populated dzongkhags. Offering straightforward accommodation for civil servants and trekkers alike, the guesthouse is a reliable base from which to explore the ancient Gasa Dzong perched dramatically above the Mochu gorge. Its no-frills rooms and communal dining room serve as a reliable anchor at the northern gateway of the Trans-Bhutan Trail."
