Bhutan – Trek to Laya - October 23 to 31, 2002

The horseman in conversation about who would take the horses to Laya. Yes, that is a solar panel on that house! Below: Probably the best known photo spot for Gasa.

The dzong at Gasa – over 35 solar panels provide electric to the computers for the government.. Below: The view from above Gasa at 3,800 meters.

L The Gasa kids visited us before school. Below: At our campsite just below Laya, two yaks were fighting and playing.

From Gasa we headed up over BariLa, a pass at 3,860 meters, and then down to Koina, the muddiest place on earth (sorry – no photos, we were too discouraged) and then up to Laya. We stayed down below town at a field in front of the army camp that guards the border with Tibet.
