BHUTAN - Haa Valley l A Rural Untouched Paradise l Must Visit Near Paro l Chele La Pass l Ep 5

Haa is one of the least developed and remote valley in western Bhutan though it is just about three hours drive away from the Paro International Airport. Bordering with Tibet and Sikkim, the picturesque and scenic Haa valley is often underrated and left out from the usual tourist itinerary. As the drive heads down from the Chelela Pass, you will notice the air suddenly begins to feel fresher and clearer and the scattered settlements will indeed evoke a medieval Bhutan of a valley suspended in time and space. Located at an altitude of 2,670 meters above the sea level, Haa is unmistakably a quite and peaceful high altitude paradise of Bhutan least visited by tourists. As the quaint valley falls into darkness you will be treated to a stunning display of nature's own firework in the night sky.

Haa, meaning esoteric hidden-ness, is a peaceful and serene valley and one of the smallest districts with the second least population. Situated by the river amid beautiful snow capped mountains, Haa valley is cool and quite with pristine environment and crisp fresh air to breathe in. People in some parts of this valley still perform the Bon rituals (an ancient religion worshipping the spirits of nature, including sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, lakes and sacrificing animals to appease the deities). Ap Chundu is the main local deity and he holds a special place in the lives of everyone from Haa.
