Haa Valley, Bhutan

Opened to tourism only in 2002, Haa retains a rugged, raw quality that is hard to find elsewhere. It sits right on the western border, guarded by the three distinct hills known as the 'Three Brother Hills.' The valley is narrower, the mountains steeper, and the culture deeply authentic. It’s a place for hikers and those who want to see what Bhutan looks like when it isn't performing for visitors.
