The people here speak Lhotshamkha and are predominantly Hindus. It is connected with roads from Samtse town, Phuntsholing, and Haa via Tergola. The nearest town, and district headquarters, is Samtse, about 3 hours drive. Residents so their shopping from Dokan-dar, the commercial hub of Dorokha.
The road reaches the remote village of Sengten and a road also leads to Sengten Primary School. The road has connected the previously isolated Doya and Rai communities to the outside world.
