    Mo Chhu River

    The Mo Chhu rises near Bhutan's border with Tibet. The narrow stream -- its name meaning "Female River" -- broadens as it tumbles out of the highlands past Gasa Tshachu and into the Mo Chhu Valley. Further downstream, just below the village of Tashithang, the river is channelled into the dramatic Devil's Gorge in a stretch of the river popular with kayakers and whitewater rafters. The flow gradually lessens as the Mo Chhu passes the gleaming golden peak of the Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten. From there the river flows past beautiful Punakha Dzong where it merges with the Po Chhu, or "Male River" and begins the next stage of its journey to the Brahmaputra and the Indian Ocean.

    Pema Choeki is a young woman weaver of Brokpa heritage. Her passion started when Pema once decided that she needed a better cushion to sit on. Traditionally made from yak skin, she decided that “yak skin is dirty” and that she needed a better material. As any clever innovator would, Pema set out to identify what readily available resource she could utilize for her invention. She began “harvesting” plastic with her mother and other family members.
