Sarpang District
Sarpang District (Dzongkha: སར་པང་རྫོང་ཁག) is one of the twenty dzongkhags of Bhutan, situated in the south-central part of the country along the Indian border. Known for its subtropical climate and lowland geography, Sarpang serves as a significant agricultural region and a gateway between highland Bhutan and the Indian plains.
Renaming of Places in Southern Bhutan
Between the 1950s and late 1990s, the Royal Government of Bhutan systematically renamed districts, towns, gewogs, and villages across southern Bhutan from their historical Nepali-origin names to Dzongkha names. Human rights organizations and refugee communities have characterized the renaming as part of a broader pattern of cultural erasure targeting the Lhotshampa population, while the Bhutanese government has framed parts of the process as linguistic standardization.
Tang Valley
Tang Valley is one of the four valleys of Bumthang district in central Bhutan. Less visited than the neighbouring Choekhor Valley, Tang is home to the Ugyen Choling Palace museum, the sacred Mebar Tsho (Burning Lake) associated with the treasure revealer Pema Lingpa, and a distinctive rural landscape known for buckwheat cultivation and honey production.
