Excursion of Bjoka and nearby villages is one of the key attractions of the Park and will add on to a unique cultural experience of ancient culture, traditions and beliefs.
The local Royal palace with its black and white walls have an interesting history and story, and walking through the village, visiting the rickety bamboo-thatched huts and interacting with the villagers as you sip on Tongba – a local wine of maize, will give you an insight into how people still live happily with very basic modern infrastructure and amenities.
The people here are skilled in making cane and bamboo products (household items) which are sold all over the country and is also their main source of income.
Another attraction is the Nanglakha Monastery perched on a hilltop with a bird’s eye view of the northern parts of the Manas Park.
