Brokpa People of Merak and Sakteng
The Brokpa are a semi-nomadic yak-herding community of about 5,000 people living in the highland villages of Merak and Sakteng in eastern Trashigang dzongkhag. They are distinguished from their Sharchop neighbours by a distinct Tibetic language, a felt hat with five tendrils known as the tsipi cham, and a transhumant economy based on yak and sheep pastoralism at altitudes of 3,000 to 4,500 metres. Merak and Sakteng were closed to foreign visitors until 2010 and are now part of the Sakteng Wildlife Sanctuary.
