WHS Score 0.0 Votes 0
Sakteng Wildlife Sanctuary is known for its floral diversity, especially concerning Rhododendrons. It lies in a remote part of Bhutan, where the semi-nomadic Brokpa people live and tend to their yaks. The Brokpas have their own dialect, customs and continue to practice polyandry. Even a yeti-like creature (the migoi) is said to live in these areas.
