Rombu, a practice to entomb the dead, is a tradition unique to the Lhop communities in Samtse. It dates back to as long as the existence of Lhops, also known as Doyaps.

In this special report, our Samtse bureau reporter, Sherub Dorji attends the tradition that is close to the Lhops as well as a testimony of Bhutan’s rich cultural diversity.
