Haa Summer Festival

Discover Bhutan’s Hidden Alpine Valley

Surrounded by forests, meadows, mountains and traditional villages, Haa Valley is one of western Bhutan’s most peaceful destinations. The Haa Summer Festival celebrates the traditional lifestyle, culture, food and natural heritage of the people of Haa.

The festival is especially attractive for travellers who want to experience a more intimate side of Bhutan away from the larger crowds associated with the most famous tshechus.

Taste Haa

Bhutan Tourism describes the Haa festival as a celebration of traditional living culture, local cuisine, traditional sports and the alpine environment of the valley.

Food is an important part of the Haa experience. Visitors may encounter regional specialities such as Haapi Hoentoe, a traditional buckwheat dumpling, as well as local variations of Bhutan’s famous ema datshi using yak cheese.

Why visit Haa?

Because sometimes the most memorable experiences are found away from the biggest festivals.

Festival dates follow the Bhutanese calendar and change from year to year. Please confirm the current dates with our team before you plan your journey.

Slow down. Explore the valley. Meet the people. Taste the food. Experience Haa.
