Exploring Merak & Sakteng in Bhutan's Far East

#meraksakteng #bhutan #saktengwildlifesanctuary
For the longest time I thought Merak Sakteng was one place but exploring the Sakteng Wildlife Sanctuary brought me closer to learning about the history of a special group of people and how the two communities of Merak and Sakteng came to be.

From the stories on conservation practices in this region by Forest Rangers, the unique Brokpa people of Merak & Sakteng, intoxicating Tshogchhang rituals to the unforgettable trek to the abode of Aum Jomo, I hope you'll enjoy this special travel documentary.
