27th October 2017, Gasa:
Thank you our ever protecting Ap Gomo! Thank you all the supporters and visitors for making the 2nd Royal Highland Festival – 23 to 24 October 2017 a grand success. The festival brought to Laya around 500 guests representing from all walks of life. The festival gave the guests the once in lifetime opportunity to see and experience the otherwise an inaccessible Highland lifestyle and that too all in festivity and carnival atmosphere adorned with the Royal Presence of His Majesty The King. The Laya Run with the theme – “Run for the Highlands” was almost an event by itself was also a big success. 
As envisioned it was also an opportunity for the locals to make some income from homestays, food stalls, porter and pony, sale of local products, besides the great chance to interact with the guests, make new friends and exchange of ideas, culture, tradition and experiences. 
Thank you all once again. Let's all look forward to even a more successful 3rd Royal Highland Festival. Palden Drukpa Gyalo ! Tashi Delek!
