Bhutan Laya Village, western viewpoint

The upper western viewpoint over Laya gives you an impression of the traditional houses and the mountain valley behind. It's a good place to relax and take in the beauty of this special place.

Be patient with the light. This place is very unpredictable since there are 2 valley crossing. Make sure to expose for the highlights so you don't loose details.

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.
