Nature trip

The natural splendour of Gasa is unparalleled in the country. It has some of the highest peaks arrayed like a saw along the border with Tibet. Over a hundred glacial lakes are at the foot of these mountains that feed the source of pristine rivers in the country. The entire district falls under the Jigme Dorji Wangchuck National Park that has some rare flora and fauna species. The park also had been a home to some of endangered faunal species such as the elusive snow leopard, Takin – the national animal, Red Panda, the mountain goats, Blue sheep and the Blue Poppy, the national flower of the country. Each year a number of tourists pass through the region along its popular trails including the famous Snowman, one of the most arduous treks in the world.

Sacred places

Gasa has about thirteen well known religious monuments that includes the Zabsel and Phulukha choetens, Throe Lhakhang, Dung Goemba, Drophel Choling, Yonzho Lhakhang, Jangchub Choling, Bumpa lhakhang, and the ruins of the ancestral home of the 1^st Deb Raja of Bhutan, Tenzin Drugyel. Visiting these sites will be the most advanterous moments for the tourist through high hills and deep gorgeous crossing through the grasslands.
