Sang, Uttarakhand

Sang (Jadhang) is a small hilly village in Uttarkashi District, Uttarakhand, India, and claimed by Zanda County, Ngari Prefecture, Tibet, China.

Mana Pass and some of the nearby villages are Tirpani, Nelang and Pulam Sumda, which all lie in the valley of the Jadh Ganga.

The settlement document of Garhwal Kingdom, which administered this area, from that era reads, "Wilson invited certain Jadha from the upper Pargana of Kunawar in Bashahr state (now in Himachal Pradesh) to settle at Nilang, re-establish the hamlet of Jadhang and administered the area on behalf of Maharaja Bhavani Shah [r. 1859-71 CE].

"[3] On 23 May 1849 CE, the king of Garhwal Kingdom, Sudarshan Shah gave british adventurer Fredrik Wilson a forest in Taknore (Tak Naurarh) pargana for an annual lease of Rs 400 for logging the timber for supplying to railways.

On the same day he was appointed as Garhwal king's representative for rehabilitating this area and it has become desolated during the 12 year Gorkha occupation (1803-15 CE).
