What you'll do

The Yathra Weaving Centre in Chumey is the main sales outlet for the 240+ households of the 13 villages in Bumthang who depend on the sale of traditional yathra for their livelihood. A craft passed down from mother to daughter, the weavers use yak and sheep wool to create a thick fabric which is ideal for the cold weather of Bumthang. Traditionally, each house in Chumey valley has its own loom and girls will learn to weave at a very young age.
