Gasa
Remote hot springs and Bhutan's least populated dzongkhag
About Gasa
Bhutan's least populated dzongkhag, Gasa is dominated by high Himalayan terrain bordering Tibet, and is the starting point for the Snowman Trek and the Laya-Gasa trekking route. Gasa Dzong, perched above the small town, oversees a region known for its natural hot springs (tshachus), prized for their healing properties. Home to the Layap and Lunap highland communities, Gasa offers a glimpse into Bhutan's most remote and traditional ways of life.
