Buried in history, the Lechuna Heritage Lodge is a farmhouse located in the picturesque village of Lechu. The valley offers scenic walks along natural paths through untouched villages. Visit monasteries, alive with culture and tradition. The lodge is situated at an altitude of 2,960 m the western-most and smallest district of Bhutan, which has a population of 20,000. Time spent in the Haa Valley offers everything one might expect to see and experience in a country famed for its living culture and traditions.
Visiting the Lechuna Heritage Lodge was an unforgettable experience! The rich history of this iconic destination, offers visitors an insight into a vibrant era of local culture and heritage. The ambience of the grounds and facilities made our stay here a pleasant and memorable one. The service and hospitality was excellent. We look forward to visiting again soon!

Lechuna Heritage Lodge is an authentic, renovated Bhutanese farm house. A fabulous experience in a traditional building coupled with the comforts of modern life. It is nestled amongst other farm houses in a small village on the outskirts of Haa, Bhutan. For those that like to keep in touch with the outside world, free wifi available. I also tuned in to 105FM radio and listened to many of the latest music releases. Meals were remarkable. Trekking the surrounding countryside was also a great experience.

We arrived with trepidation--shared bathroom, old farmhouse, no internet. This ended up being our favorite stay in a 9 day, 8 night tour. The place has been redone with tasteful antiques and nicely chosen furnishings. The atmosphere is relaxed and peaceful. The shared bathroom (very modern) was close by and no problem since we were the only ones there. The internet worked better than what we had in Paro and Thimpu.
The food here was by far the best we had in Bhutan. I have high standards and every meal exceeded them. We like food spicy and they were happy to accommodate that.
Best of all, the people. So nice and attentive. We particularly enjoyed the young man who played guitar and sang at the end of our meal. He sang both Bhutanese and Western songs in a lovely tenor voice. He only sang 4 songs each night which left us wanting more.
Nothing in my pre-trip reading prepared me for the delight of this hotel and the Haa Valley in general.
I'm so glad we made it to the Haa Valley. It felt like stepping back in time and even being at the end of the trail. The road does indeed stop near here as you head for Tibet.
Best of all the people.

I can only echo previous entries about this delightful hotel - we too arrived in the dark to a warm reception and beautiful room in this restored hotel. The showers/loos etc all fine even though not enquire. The food was fine given the remote nature of the hotel - avoid the chilli cheese as it is HOT!!

This was absolutely the best place we stayed in our 10 days in Bhutan. The rooms were clean and wonderful and the dinner was the most outstanding of our entire stay. The most remarkable attribute is the warmth of the people at this Farmhouse. An interesting tour of the area and we so enjoyed talking to the people that were working in the fields around the farm. We only stayed a night, but wish it had been much longer.

When the internet told me that visiting Ha was not really an easy task, I was a bit concerned. By chance I happened to stumble up on this lodge, and I am glad I did it. I called them on the day of our visit, and they reassured us that lunch for 6 (vegetarian) could be arranged for. That relieved us with the need to pack sandwiches or something (as was suggested). We visited the White and Black temples, and called Lechuna. The manager there was on the phone with us, guiding our driver to the lodge.
We stopped at what appeared to be in the middle of nowhere. The manager was waiting for us. We were guided through a serene rural landscape, replete with turnip fields, and people farming. After meandering our way around, we were showed into Lechuna Lodge. Right at the first sight we knew that this was a classy place.
The staff were waiting for us with hot food. After giving us towels to wipe our faces, serving us drinks, we were served with probably the best Indo-chinese food of our trip. After we were stuffed (@ 600 Rs/head) we were shown around the lodge.
It is an ancient house that was repurposed into a hotel. The interiors were tastefully done, the lights cozily dim, and the vistas breathtaking from the windows. Every single Western minutiae was taken care of. The rooms looked inviting enough for us not to want to return to our dingy Hotel Holiday Home in Paro!
The manager was kind enough to take us out on a walk around the premises, and show us the little sights around the place. He informed us of the hot stone bath nearby, beside the gurgling brook and the water mill. He took us into a nearby house where the evening puja was being performed, and we paid our obeisances there.
It was time to go, and none of us wanted to leave! The manager informed us that if we chose to visit again, he would organize pickup from Paro. He said that people typically stay for about 4 days, and do day hikes starting at 8 and finishing at 3, before sauntering to the hot stone bath.
The lush pastoral landscape, the healthy mountain air, the cozy room interiors, and the rich food could really be the affordable unwind that people look forward to, but cannot manage to find elsewhere. If I return to Bhutan, this is where I'd start my trip!

A wonderful place to stay in the Haa Valley. Beautiful house so nicely renovated. We were very charmed by the decoration of the room and touched by the warm hospitality, excellent food and friendly service. All of us would like to come back. Thanks for the staff.

The Lechuna Heritage Lodge was one of the highlights of our eight day visit to Bhutan. It was converted from a 100-year old farm house with much exposed, decorated wood inside and out. Our room, though not large, was comfortable, clean and warm, even with snow outside. Although the shower and toilet facilities were just down the corridor from our room, this did not detract from our stay. The staff were charming and very welcoming. The dining room is in a separate building a few metres across the courtyard garden where the meals were simple but good and plentiful. There are several pleasant walks in and around the village and the Haa Valley with good birdlife. This was a lovely place to stay and enjoy life a little closer to Bhutanese traditions.

An old farmhouse which was charming. Staff helpful but language was a barrier. Room was spotless but no en-suite facilities. Beds comfortable.
I have never previously stayed in somewhere like this & am not sure what to expect in terms of food quality., tasty enough .

I only stayed at the Lechuna Heritage Lodge for a night, but I wish I had scheduled more time here. The room was spotless and comfortable. Beautiful courtyard. I especially enjoyed the Bhutanese pancakes for breakfast.

The price is included factored into your overall stay when the Bhutan agent organises your trip. You need to check if it is open in December. it is only the luxury hotels that you have to pay additional upgrade charges. Enjoy!
