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.
The lodge was once a family estate surrounded by rich forests, and farmland.
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.

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.

My wife and I stayed here as part of our pilgrimage with Wisdom Tours. The staff are friendly and so helpful, preparing good food as well as taking suitcases to our room. The room was comfortable and yet we were in this hundred-year old house. Hot showers, heaters in the room and western toilets almost seem out of place with the 16” old pine floorboards. From the rooms you either look out on the mountains, the surrounding village, or the courtyard. A very special place.

This small lodge was quite charming. It's not quite in Haa town, but about 20 minutes away down a bumpy road. The rooms were good, with soft, warm beds. None of the rooms have attached bathrooms, but you're really not that far away from them. The toilets and the showers are not together, but it's not really that inconvenient. The food was exceptional. It may be the best hotel food we had in Bhutan. Clearly they have a talented chef. The coffee could be better, though. The internet didn't work when we were there. The WiFi network was functioning, but it wasn't connected to any internet service. The staff just shrugged it off, like it happens all the time. Overall, a lovely stay. I'd easily return to this lodge, given a chance.

In the middle of the endless scenery of the upper Haa valley, you find the pittoresque and charming Lechuna Lodge. This beautiful renovated house in traditional bhutanese style offers all the comfort and facilities needed (hot shower, wifi, etc.) as well as a warm welcome from the staff, which is extremely attentive to its guests. The cinnamon pancakes are the highlight of the breakfast and a great way to start the day! We highly recommend this place if you are lucky to stop by this small village.

If you are the kind of traveller who would like to experiance the real rural Bhutan will a comfortable stay, Lechuna it should be! Lechuna is set in the middle of a quaint village. The house is a restored farm house. Beautifully done, keeping the aesthetics and considering modern needs. The bathrooms and toilets are shared. It is not much of a bother since each floor has about 3 baths and 2 toilets to share amongst 6 people. We were a group of 7 and had the entire top floor. Food was nice and dinner in the little garden was fun with the fire lit. Service here was by far the best we got in Bhutan. Humble and sweet village folk work here and are willing to accommodate all requests. Walks around the farms and a hike up to the river are great to spend a lazy afternoon. The house overlooks the fields and mountains nearby. Sound of the prayer bells at the distance is soothing. There’s a small temple nearby where you could go chant/ meditate. I would definitely recommend a night here. Do note that the property is away from Haa town. About 20 mins drive. We drove from Punakha to Haa and it took us almost 8 hours. The road is not great in parts. Though it isn’t very tiring it is a long day. Paro- Haa is around 3/4 hours. …

This unique and lovely Lodge is located far off the beaten track, With its warm and friendly staff, not to forget one of the few good cooks ( with vegetable out of their own garden ) I experienced during my month in Bhutan. This original old manor house ( 2960m) is simply lovely. You can do treks and walks from here. This is a place I'd like to return to.
