    Haa Valley image
    Haa is one of the smallest districts in the country. This tiny region is one of the most beautiful and isolated areas in the kingdom. It is adorned with pristine alpine forests and tranquil mountain peaks. This valley remains one of the least visited areas in the country and retains the air of an unspoiled, primeval forest. The wooded hills of Haa provide an ideal location for hiking and mountain biking. Biking around the valley to get to the local temples is an enjoyable way to spend the day. Haa is home to a number of nomadic herders. It hosts an annual Haa Summer Festival that showcases their unique lifestyle and culture. The festival is an ideal occasion to immerse in the traditions and unchanged lifestyles of nomadic Bhutanese herders. It is certainly one of the best places to visit in Bhutan. See more..
