Sakteng wildlife sanctuary

The shy, charismatic and endangered Red Panda can be found inside the Sakteng wildlife sanctuary located in Merak and Sakteng, a nomadic community in north east Bhutan. Sakteng is also famous for its unique mask dance called the ‘Achi Lhamoi Chham,’ a dance drama that dates back to the 8th century.  
The GEF supported Ecotourism Project in Sakteng aims to boost the rural economy by promoting wildlife-based tourism, creating employment opportunities and increasing community resilience and connection to nature.
