Haa In Rigsum Resort 3

Haa remains one of the least visited areas in the country and retains the air of an unspoiled, primeval forest. This valley only opened to foreigners in 2002 due to its proximity to the border with Sikkim and Tibet. This unspoilt valley harks back to a simpler, more traditional time, and its wooded hills give us an ideal setting for hiking and mountain biking. There are several pleasant walking trails in Haa and biking on the virtually traffic free valley to visit local areas of interest and village homes is an enjoyable way to spend the day. In the evening your cooking class for 2 hours will be at Lechuna Heritage Lodge with to make Ema Datshi,Kewa Datshi or any Non-Veg items.
