The Haa Valley is to the west of Paro, on the border with Tibet and India. It is accessed by road via the Chele la Pass, the highest motorable pass in Bhutan, with incredible views of the snow-capped Himalayan mountains.
Haa and Paro are only some 40 miles apart via the twisting mountain roads, probably only 10 miles as the crow flies, yet it feels off-the-beaten-track; few tourists head this way as it’s in the opposite direction to the other valleys. Yet those who do will be rewarded with astounding scenery, walking and cycling trails and some beautiful monasteries, with barely a soul around.
