The valley
North of Punakha, Gasa welcomes travellers with forested slopes, flowing rivers and mountain views. Visit Gasa Dzong, standing proudly above the surrounding landscape, before slowing down with a warm soak in the riverside pools of Gasa Tshachu.
Beyond the town, trails lead towards Laya and the highlands of Jigme Dorji National Park. For those venturing further, Gasa offers encounters with distinctive highland traditions and some of Bhutan’s most remote mountain scenery.
