Haa Valley

Bhutan

Cross Bhutan's highest motorable pass and drop into a quiet valley where forested mountains cradle traditional farmhouses, and the rhythms of rural life carry on much as they always have.

Tucked close to the Tibet border and opened to visitors only in recent years, Haa Valley is among the most unspoiled corners of the kingdom. Reached over the soaring Chele La pass, this narrow, forested valley is ringed by sacred peaks and dotted with traditional villages, buckwheat fields and grazing yaks. At its heart stand the twin temples of Lhakhang Karpo and Lhakhang Nagpo — the White and Black Temples — steeped in local legend. Quiet, authentic and gloriously offbeat Bhutan, Haa Valley Bhutan rewards travellers who venture beyond the usual trail. Among the finest things to do in Haa Valley and rare places to visit in Bhutan, Haa Valley Bhutan tourism is on the rise. Plan your visit via the official Bhutan Tourism portal: bhutan.travel.

April to June and September to November for mild weather; the summer Haa festival celebrates nomadic life and local culture.

Approach via the Chele La pass for staggering views and stop for photos at the top, visit the White and Black Temples with a local guide who can share their legends, dress warmly as the valley sits high and cool, and time a summer trip for the Haa festival.

This attraction can be easily woven into BreakBag Holidays' customised Bhutan tour packages, pairing Haa Valley with Chele La pass, Paro and western Bhutan's sights.
