Haa

Haa, one of Bhutan’s most serene and least-explored districts, is a picturesque valley in western Bhutan. Known as the “Hidden Land of Rice Valley,” Haa is surrounded by rugged mountains and alpine forests, offering a tranquil retreat. The valley is home to sacred sites like the Lhakhang Karpo (White Temple) and Lhakhang Nagpo (Black Temple), linked to ancient legends and Bhutanese mythology. Haa’s untouched beauty is complemented by its vibrant traditions, including the annual Haa Summer Festival, which celebrates local culture, food, and yak-herding lifestyles. The Chelela Pass, Bhutan’s highest motorable pass, provides stunning views of Mount Jomolhari and access to Haa. With its natural beauty and cultural depth, Haa is a hidden gem awaiting discovery.
