Laya Village Layap Highlander Cultural Homestay

"The Layap people of Laya village in upper Gasa are Bhutan's most distinctively attired highland community, identified by the iconic conical bamboo hats worn by women and yak herding traditions defining their semi-nomadic lives above 3,800 metres. An overnight homestay in a traditional stone and timber household involves morning yak milking, butter churning, and preparation of tsam — roasted buckwheat eaten with yak butter tea — beside an open fire, offering total immersion in a centuries-old alpine culture."
