Even today there are still parts of Bhutan that remain closed, and this was the case for the Ha Valley until 2001. Our MD, Steve Berry, who made a reconnaissance trek through these mountains, that border Sikkim and Tibet, is wildly enthusiastic about the region.

Up against the border is a huge valley, known as Lolithang, that is a traditional summer grazing ground for yaks. At the head of the valley stands the impressive peak of Chundugang, believed to be the guardian deity of Ha. The trek twists and winds its way through the mountains, ridges and lakes that look down into Lolithang. One of the lakes we visit has a curious supernatural legend attached to it, and it is believed that magic cymbals flew from the lake to Paro Dzong and you can still hear them played at the Paro festival.
