The Bhutan behind the farmhouse door
Stay where families have farmed for generations. Share meals, lose an archery match gracefully, cross Chele La into the Haa Valley, and meet the everyday Bhutan most itineraries drive straight past.
Arrive Paro, settle into a valley farmstay.
Paro villages on foot: farm lunch, local archery match, evening around the bukhari.
Over Chele La to Haa Valley, overnight homestay.
Haa: Lhakhang Karpo and Lhakhang Nagpo, valley walks, home cooking.
To Thimphu via the Chuzom confluence, weekend market if timing allows.
Return to Paro, Tiger’s Nest hike.
