Travel Information

In order to get to the remote village of Laya, you would need to take a hike. The shortest option is to get to the roadpoint close to the military point between Gasa and Laya. From there, you need to take an around 400-500m elevation climb and around 10-12km (in dependency on the trail conditions). Take care about a proper acclimatization. Laya lies at 3.900m and higher.
