Nestled in the remote eastern highlands of Bhutan, Merak and Sakten are home to the Brokpas, a semi-nomadic indigenous community known for their rich traditions, vibrant culture, and deep connection with nature. Living in the pristine valleys of Sakten Wildlife Sanctuary, the Brokpas have preserved their ancient way of life, herding yaks, practicing unique spiritual rituals, and wearing distinctive red woolen attire and yak-hair hats. These highland villages, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Himalayas, remain some of Bhutan’s most untouched and mystical destinations, offering a rare glimpse into a world where time seems to stand still.
