Laya, a remote village in Bhutan

Laya is a remote village three days walk from a motor able road. People living here are nomads and rear yaks. During summer these nomads go higher up the mountains looking for good pasture. When the winter sets in and when the ground is covered in snow they move down to low lying areas where they can still feed their yaks.

Laya is a trekkers paradise. The breathtaking views and the enchanting people have left a lasting impression on the minds of the many.
