Trip to Sakten with the team of Ministry of Labour on dated December 13th, 2017.
The trip to Sakten was memorable which is about 51 km (3 hrs) driving distance towards the border of Indian Arunachal Pradesh to the east of Trashigang at an altitude of 3,000 m above sea level. The most eastern region of the remote Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan depends for its livelihood almost entirely on sheep and Yak. This nomadic or Brokpas community has maintained its own unique dialect, dress and culture. This nomadic or Brokpas land has recently opened its door to outsiders so they might share their culture, natural resources and scenic beauty.
The road ends up to Thakthri and started our trekking through Rodhadendron and cheer pine forest its about two and half hours to moderate trek within the Sakten Wildlife Sanctuary area. It consists of typical diversity of Himalayan terrestrial ecosystems, combining alpine meadow, temperate forest, and warm broadleaf forest; 203 species of plants, 119 species of birds and 18 species of mammals have been confirmed as mentioned by forest official of Sakten.
