Jomolhari - Lingshi - Thimphu Trek

The Laya Gasa Trek

Despite the opening up of a number of new trekking possibilities in Bhutan, the long-established route from Jomolhari across to Laya will always rank as one of Bhutan's finest treks. The reasons for this are not hard to find. This route offers a great variety of trekking conditions, from picturesque farmland and forest to alpine pastureland and high passes. Spectacular campsites, beneath some of Bhutan’s most impressive peaks, of which the most notable are Jomolhari and Jitchu Drake, are also a feature of this trekking route. Numerous isolated dzongs (fortress monasteries) and scattered settlements, including the outlandish village of Laya, provide a great deal of cultural interest en route.

Bhutan has a special magic, which is derived from the combination of its colorful culture and religion, together with its unspoiled and outstandingly beautiful mountain scenery. Over the past few years, the Bhutanese Tourism Authority has, developed facilities for trekkers along this route to minimize the impact that they have on the environment, and also to make the journey more comfortable. Now, at three or four of the established camp-site areas, stone lodges have been built (in traditional style) which offer very welcome shelters for "evening meals around the fire." Another attraction of this trek is that despite this being Bhutan's most popular route, you are unlikely to see more than one or two other groups during the trek. The memories of this special trek will stay with you for a lifetime.

Day 01: Welcome to Bhutan

The flight to Bhutan from Kathmandu takes you close to the great Himalayas; offering dazzling scenic views of world’s highest glacial peaks. Where you’ll be greeted by Mt.Everest and Mt.Kanchenjunga, and our very own Mt. Jomolhari and Mt. Jitchu Drakey. As you enter the Paro valley, you will pass forested hills with the slivery Pa chu (Paro river) meandering down the valley below the Paro Dzong (fortress) and Ta Dzong (watchtower) on the hill above the town.

In the afternoon, we visit Paro Rimpung Dzong, the centre of civil and religious authority in this valley. Stroll around town in the evening and then proceed to your resort.

Accommodation: Metta Resort / Gangtey Palace
Meals included: Lunch, Dinner

Day 02: Excursion to Tiger’s Nest and Paro sightseeing

Today you’ll experience Bhutan’s most valued attractions, and perhaps the biggest highlight for your trip! This hike will also help you to acclimatise to the altitude before you start your trek. An excursion to the famous Taktshang monastery –translated as- Tiger’s nest monastery – is a two hours hike that rewards you with a spectacular temple clinging on a 1000 feet cliff. The temple was built in 1692 by a prominent historical figure named Gyaltse Tenzin Rabgye whose reincarnation is now a young teenager and already a prominent figure in the clergy. Your guide will complement the experience with its story.

On the way back visit the ruins of Drugyal Dzong fortress, which is an important Bhutanese heritage as it served as a strategic watchtower and a fortress that helped repel numerous Tibetan invasions in the 1600s. Peak of Jumolhari ‘Mountain of the Goddess’ can be seen on a clear day from here (7,329 mts/24,029 ft.). Continue to visit Kyichu Lhakhang – believed to be the oldest Buddhist temple in Bhutan built during the 07th century.

In the evening visit a farmhouse and will try a herbal hot-stone bath which is known to be therapeutic and helps ailments related to joints and muscle aches, besides simply soothing your mind and body. Perfect to unwind and goes well with the Red Panda local beer. This is a complimentary value-added experience from Himalayan Trails without any hidden costs.

Accommodation: Metta Resort / Gangtey Palace
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 03: Shana - Thongthong Zampa [3250m]

This is a long day, we start early from the hotel in the jeeps driving towards Shana. We follow the Paro Chhu (CHHU: river) up the valley. At Gunitsawa we will have our permits checked before continuing the drive a little while longer to Shana. Here our trekking day starts, it will take us around five hours to reach the campsite. The trail continues to follow the river; gradually ascending through a mixed forest of blue pine and oak and, later in the afternoon, tall rhododendron trees, birch, fir and maple. Though the trail is a rough and rocky path, it is not too strenuous. In rainy conditions it can be quite muddy. There are several simple wooden bridges to cross and sometimes the river reaches right up to the trail.

Several trails lead in other directions, such as the trail to Tremo La (LA: Pass), which was the old salt-trading route to Tibet. About 45 min beyond this is our camp which we reach after about 5 hours of walking through an ever-narrowing valley.

Distance: 10 Km
Walking hours: 5 hours

Accommodation: Camping
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 04: Thongthong Zampa - Soi Thangthangka [3580m]

This morning we continue up the valley through a beautiful forest consisting mainly of birch, fir, larch, maple, blue pine, and Rhododendron.

Not long before reaching the campsite, the trail leads you up a ridge with a chorten (CHORTEN: Buddhist monument).

Beyond, in the distance at the end of the valley Mt. Jomolhari (7314m) comes into view. After a 4-hour walk, you will reach the campsite located in a spacious clearing and directly facing Jomolhari. The view the next morning of the sun’s rays striking the peak is breathtaking.

Distance: 12 Km
Walking hours: 4 hours

Accommodation: Camping
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Soi Thangthangka Camp © Don Bethune

Day 05: Soi - Thangthangka-Jangothang [4080m]

The third day’s trek is shorter so it’s possible to set off a little later and progress at a leisurely pace. When you reach an army outpost you are required to stop and register your entry permits issued by the army headquarters in Thimphu. This matter will be taken care of by your guide.

The Pachu River is again to the right and the trail passes through some tiny villages. It will take less than six hours to reach Jangothang. The altitude at the camp is 4,080m and is a beautiful place to spend the night. The imposing, rounded bulk of Jomolhari fills the view to the Northeast and in the evening the profile of the ruined Jangothang Dzong, populated by huge ravens, creates a mystical atmosphere. The area is rich in bird life including the fire-tailed sunbird, ibisbill, white throated dipper, yellow-billed chough, rosy pipit, snow pigeon, blue-fronted redstart, plumbeous water redstart, blood pheasant, snow partridge, and many more.

Distance: 19 km
Walking hours: Approx. 5-6 hours

Accommodation: Camping
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 06: A rest day at Jangothang

Today is a scheduled rest day, intended to aid everyone’s acclimatization before the crossing of the Nyele La to Lingshi. There are plenty of options for a walk, and one possibility is a hike up the ridge behind he ruined dzong to a grassy summit at approximately 5200 meters, from where there is an incredible close-up view of Jomolhari.

Alternatively, a 2 hour hike to a lake above camp provides a stunning location for photographs of Jitchu Drake. Green grass, grazing yaks, stunning mountain scenery – it doesn’t come much better than this. For a spectacular view of Jitchu Drake closer to camp (even better at sunrise if you can get up sufficiently early), follow the river for 20 minutes to a lone house and here the mountain is presented before you.

No matter what you choose to do today, the cooks will have had all day to prepare dinner and a veritable banquet will be waiting at the end of the day.

Accommodation: Camping
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 07: Jangothang - Lingshi [4000m]

As you climb steeply into an area of glacial moraine, the views of Jitchu Drakye and Jomolhari change along with your perspective. A steep and steady climb, perhaps through snow, brings you to the Nyile La, a pass at 4890m. From the top of the windy pass enjoy a 360 degree view. Tshering Gang (6,789) also comes into full view. A fairly tough trek over scree or snow leads down to the valley and then follows the side of a ridge towards the impressively situated Lingshi Dzong (4,370m). The camp site is some distance below the Dzong on a flat area near a community building made of stones, at an altitude of 4000m.

Distance: 21 km

From Lingzhi, it’s an easy, pleasant walk through villages and yak herders’ camps. Lunch will be served at scenic Goyuna village. After lunch it’s a short walk to Chebisa village and then to camp by the side of a stream at an altitude of 3990 meters.

The trek continues along an undulating path. After crossing a stream, proceed through rhododendron forests and across yak herder’s camps. You may see some flocks of Blue Sheep grazing among the rocky crags above the trail. This is the Shakshepasa valley, one of the most beautiful valleys on the trek. Ascend on a steep trail up the side of the valley to 4220m before a traverse past yak headers huts. Camp is beside a stream at Shomuthang.

The trail enters the Tsheri Jathang valley, the summer grazing ground of the rare Himalayan Takin (Bhutan’s National animal).

From here, we may have to wade across the stream as the footbridge is frequently washed away. After crossing the stream towards the left bank the trail ascends to Robluthang camp at an altitude of 4160 meters.

After breakfast, drive to visit Punakha Dzong – the most beautiful fortress in Bhutan situated at the confluence of two rivers. This ancient fortress is the winter residence of the monastic order’s leadership and still serves as the administrative headquarters for the Punakha region. The fortress is a fine example of Bhutan’s rich art and architecture, and our guide who is an expert in iconography will explain all aspects of art, architecture, history and its significance.

Visit Chimi Lhakhang – a monastery built by one of Bhutan’s most charming and eccentric historic figures nicknamed ‘The Divine Madman’ at the ChhimiLhakhang – also called the fertility monastery – our guide will explain the entire story about it. The visit involves a short nice hike through a beautiful village surrounded by paddy fields.

Drive to Thimphu over the Dochula Pass (3140m). Situated atop the pass at the backdrop of fluttering prayer flags is the Druk Wangyal Chortens, a collection of 108 chortens (stupas) that was built to exemplify the greatness of the Fourth King.

The interior of the statue’s temple is easily one of the most beautiful and unique with thousands of other statues inside. Enjoy a panoramic view of Thimphu city from there. Walk into Kuenselphodrang Nature Park and do a yoga session at the viewpoint grounds from where you can also enjoy great views over the underlying city.

Take a ride upto the Takin Reserve Center in the evening to see the national animal of Bhutan – the Takin and stroll over to the viewpoint that offers great views of Thimphu city. From here, continue to the colourful vegetable market where you’ll really experience local lifestyles where farmers from all around Bhutan will be seeling their produce. It is interesting to see what may seem to you as ‘weird vegetables and forest products’ that actually enriches the Bhutanese palate. If you are interested, we could organise a cooking session in Bhutanese culinary with a renowned chef.

Continue to the Changlimithang Stadium to watch locals enjoying the national sport of Bhutan – Archery – which is played in a traditional style over a 120m long range and always filled with fun and festive moods.

In the evening we’ll have dinner at one of Thimphu’s best restaurants to enjoy authentic Bhutanese cuisines.

A wonderful 11 day trip in Nepal was created for us by Kripa. She was excellent at listening to what we wanted and creating the perfect trip for us. I am not the strongest hiker, but I really wanted to experience small villages, treking and feeling close to the amazing mountains in Nepal. Our trek exceeded my expectations. Tendu was an amazing guide and our porter was wonderful. We learned so much and had such fun on our journey. They really pampered us. I am not used to people anticipating what we might like before we even thought of it. They also knew great photo views and were flexible enough to discuss a few possible changes that improved the trek for us! ( more orchids, less stairs maintaining stunning views etc..). Our time exploring the greater Kathmandu area was wonderful also. We stayed at delightful character properties ( a wonderful organic farm as well as in town properties near walkable ares to explore. ) Our guide, Pratikshya, was wonderful. In addition to teaching us about the sites we were seeing, she answered all our questions ( we ask ALOT of questions!) so that we gained so much insight into Nepal that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise. Thank you so much for a trip of a lifetime!- Nancy

From the outset Himalayan Trails were nothing but efficient helping us to plan exactly what we wanted from our trip. Amanda was quick to respond to any queries and provided lots of additional useful information to ensure we were well prepared in advance. The accommodation we had was full of character and in traditional Nepali style rather than anonymous chain hotels, every pick up or meeting happened on time, Amanda even managed to find us last minute accommodation when one of our guest houses had overbooked. Our trekking guide, Mindu, kept us safe, fed and watered and motivated when we needed it - his cheerful singing and whistling along with his infectious laugh kept us entertained for 4 days on the Muldai Trek. Our city guide, Subash, was always on hand to answer our endless questions and was great company painting pictures of the sights we visited with lots of stories. He soon joined in our teasing and banter (and gave as good as he got!). We had a fabulous trip but it was the people we met who made it so special.I struggled to say goodbye to both our guides but know we have made some new friends for life. We have fallen in love with Nepal and will definitely be back and will not hesitate to use Himalayan Trails again. Thank you everyone - you did an amazing job!

An amazing 28 day adventure from Himalayan Trails, encompassing fantastic, beautiful scenery, diverse cultures and the wonderful friendly people of Nepal. Our bespoke trek from sunrise at Pikey Peak, a visit to Choling monastery (magic) Lukla, on to Gokyo where we had perfect views of Everest from Gokyo Ri and the less visited 5th Lake. Then back to Kathmandu via Renjo La, Namche, and an exciting flight from Lukla .After the trek, on Mads recommendation we went to Bardia National Park staying at quirky Racy Shade Resort. We saw tiger, one horned Rhinos, and lots of other wildlife on safari and rafting down the Karnali river. What a way to recoup from 20 days treking! At the beginning and end of our journey we were immmersed in the culture and unique ancient architecture of the old cities of the Kathmandu valley. An absolutely brilliant holiday- the guides, porters, tea houses, hotels, transfers, just flowed in that beautiful Nepalese way. Thoroughly recommend Himalayan Trails.

Manaslu trekking is a famous hiking route in Nepal Manaslu trekking is a famous hiking route in Nepal that presents magnificent views of the world’s eighth-tallest mountain, Mount Manaslu, towering at 8,163 meters. 

It is considered a fantastic substitute for the crowded Annapurna and Everest regions. Since, the flow of tourist in this area is relatively low compared to other trekking places. 

The trail also offers a view into the locals’ distinctive culture and way of life, who still uphold their ancestral customs and practices.

The best time to hike Manaslu is in the spring (March to may). Likewise, autumn (September-November) is another best time for the Manaslu trek. Similarly, the trek lasts for around 14 to 16 days.
