Bhutan Laya Village, Eastern Temple View
The view from in front of the Ap Kinley Home Stay is straight onto the temple of the eastern part of the village. Its architecture with the mountain backdrop is amazing.
Photography Tips
Here, you need to take your standard zoom and then expose for the highlights if light is coming through. With scattered skies (which is the case quite often in Laya), you want to keep all the highlights.
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.
