A third temple, Haa Gonpa, was built further up the valley at the site where a lame pigeon, actually a bodhisattva in disguised form, was found by a local farmer who was drawn to the spot by a mysterious fire seen on several successive nights and by the unexplained sounds of oboes and trumpets (musical instruments closely associated with Bhutanese and Tibetan monasteries).

Every year 11th lunar month a series of special mystical practices are performed in the upper house for a week.

The famous Lam Pema Lingpa also documented the activities of another local deity known as Aup Chungdue.

Chungdue was responsible for meteor storms, cyclones, wildfires, rocks splitting apart, earthquakes, and a number of other mystical disasters.

In the 15th century aup Chungdue decreed that the people of Ha Shogona village where not to come in contact with any followers of a certain monk in nearby Paro dzongkhag.

Natural selection has given the yak a physiological design that makes its adaption to high mountains unrivalled by any other livestock.

In 1993, the price for boneless yak meat stood at Nu 65 per kilogram, i.e. more than four times higher than beef.

Per the census, almost every household owns livestock of some type, most commonly yaks and cattle, but also chickens, pig, and horses.

They have fairly good road network, electricity, telephone connectivity, water supply, and health facilities.

[citation needed] Haa contains Torsa Strict Nature Reserve, one of the environmentally protected areas of Bhutan.

Torsa contains no human inhabitants other than military patrols and posts, occupying substantial portions of the gewogs of Bji and Sangbay.

Torsa is connected to Jigme Dorji National Park via biological corridor, cutting across the northeastern half of Haa District.

The Chinese military has built roads into the Torsa Strict Nature Reserve and Haa District over the past dozen years clearly visible on Google Earth/Maps and other viewing platforms.
