Day 14-16 Haa area

Day 14 Friday Oct. 9 Thimphu to Haa (sightseeing) (4-hour drive)

 

After breakfast we will be driven to Haa. The drive is about 5-6 hours from Wangdue (should be Thimphu?). Upon arrival in Haa, we will visit Lhakhang Karpo (temple of the white dove), a monastery believed to have been built in the 8th century by the Tibetan king Songtsen Goenpo, after he sent two doves (one black and one white) to find a sacred place to build a monastery. In the evening you can explore Haa town. Overnight in Haa. Risum Resort

 

 

Lhakhang Karpo (temple of the white dove)

Also known as Haa Dratshang

There is a Lhakhang Karpo (White Temple) in Tibet as well.  In addition there is a Lhakhang Mapro (Red Temple).  Do not get them mixed up.

A 10 minutes walk behind Lhakhang Karpo is the Lhakhang Nagpo (the Black Temple).  Let us go to see it as well.

 

There does not seem to be much to see in Haa Town.
