Merak and Sakteng are two of the most remote and far off villages located in the east of Bhutan. They have been recently opened i.e. in the year 2010 for trekking as compared to other places of the country. This place stands out because it is a very exclusive attraction in Bhutan. The inhabitants of this area are semi-nomadic and are known as �Brokpas�. The Brokpas herd yaks and have a distinct culture and dialect of their own. Houses here are mainly one-storied and built with very small windows. So, visitors can see and experience a semi-nomadic life style and culture which they cannot find anywhere else in Bhutan. The Sakteng Wildlife Sanctuary (SWS) located in Trashigang Dzongkhag in Eastern Bhutan is an idyllic valley and is one of the most newly protected areas of the country. It is like a treasure trove of biodiversity waiting to be discovered. The local here believe that the migoi or a Yeti haunts the place though it has not been scientifically proved.
