Although not far from Paro and Thimpu, the Haa Valley is one of the least-visited areas of western Bhutan. Indeed, its proximity to the Tibet border meant this region was only unrestricted to trekking as recently as 2001. This is another heavy-going trek which crosses several high passes but rewards you with incredible views over Tibet, Sikkim, and as far as Jomolhari to the north. You won’t see many other trekkers, but you might see occasional yak herders or even smugglers heading across the Tibet border.
