Haa District, Administrative district in western Bhutan

Haa District encompasses 1,746 square kilometers of land with mountains, valleys, and forests covering 78 percent of its total area.

The district remained closed to foreign visitors until 2002, making it one of the last regions in Bhutan to open for international tourism.

The Black Temple and White Temple, constructed in the seventh century, stand near Miri Punsum and represent the religious heritage of the region.

Visitors need special permits to access certain areas of Haa District, and transportation arrangements should be made through registered tour operators.

The district contains the Torsa Strict Nature Reserve and maintains traditional yak herding practices in its northern mountainous territories.
