The 5th Royal Highland Festival - one of my favorite events that I really wish to see some day 💖

HM The King of Bhutan speaks to men from the Highland community in Merak and Sakteng. They wear distinctive red sheep-wool coats.

A dance performance featuring the Yak, the most important animal in the Highlands.

Highland communities are known for their rich and distinctive textiles, mostly made from yak hair or brightly dyed sheep wool. Here, the women of Lingshi, in their bright fur hats and iconic striped capes, perform a traditional song.

Young girl in Laya wears her best traditional clothes and ornaments that have been passed down for generations. Layap women are known for their black woven dresses and the iconic pointed hat secured with strings of colourful beads.

Magiging kahapon man ang ngayon At magiging ngayon man ang bukas May ikaw man at ako Ngunit kailan ma'y di magtatagpo Ngunit kailan man ay di matatawag na "tayo."
