Kheng Bjoka (Cane & Bamboo Craft Villages)
The Kheng region of Zhemgang, particularly villages like Bjoka, represents the cultural heartland of Bhutan’s cane and bamboo handicraft tradition. Surrounded by wild bamboo groves, entire communities specialize in harvesting, stripping, and weaving natural fibers using techniques passed down over generations.
Visiting these remote settlements offers an authentic look into rural life in central-southern Bhutan. Guests can observe weavers creating intricate baskets, mats, household containers, and souvenir crafts directly supporting the economic livelihood of local families.
