Enveloping tiny urban towns, just minutes away, abound a realm that embodies the true soul of Bhutan. Lush valleys with terraced fields, quaint hamlets against a backdrop of rising hills dotted with ancient monuments and fluttering prayer flags, here time stands still. Higher or deeper and it's all about a rich and unspoiled environment teeming with rare flowers, animals and birds. Bhutan is a natural paradise offering the traveler an experience like no other. Trekking and other outdoor activities mean getting off the beaten path into a bewitching world that few have had to the fortune explore.
Comprising three tiers from the sub-tropical to the temperate and the alpine, each distinguished by their rich eco-systems, there is no dearth of adventure here.
Whether it is to share wonderful moments with farmers and herders, study unique and even endangered plants, birds and animals or test ones walking prowess, there is something for everyone. The trails are devoid of litter, the eco-species strongly protected, and the people charming and friendly. |

After Laya the trek turns southward to Gasa, where the natural hot spring is a great treat and finally the trek ends in Punakha after passing through semitropical forests.
