Sakteng

Tucked away in the far reaches of Eastern Bhutan’s Trashigang district lies Sakteng, one of the most secluded and enchanting villages in the Himalayas. Home to the Brokpa community, Sakteng offers a glimpse into a world untouched by modernity, where time moves slowly and tradition runs deep.

Sakteng is not just a destination—it’s an experience of raw Bhutanese culture, highland hospitality, and unspoiled nature.

The Brokpas of Sakteng have preserved their unique traditions for centuries. Women wear colorful woven woolen dresses and striking multi-pointed hats, while men tend to yaks and tend to remote pastures. Their way of life is simple but rich with meaning, spirituality, and community.
