Rangdum is a village located in the Suru Valley in the union territory of Ladakh in Northern India.
"Rangdum, with its gompa and the attendant village of Juliodok, is the last inhabited region in the Suru valley; it is also the destination of the nomadic herds people called Bakarwals, who trek up every year from the Himalayan foothills near Jammu, bringing their flocks of sheep and goats to grow fat on the rich summer growth of grass.
The locals depend on their flocks and supplies from lower down the Suru Valley or over the pass from Zanskar.
The valley is, however, practically uninhabited past Parkachik other than a couple of tiny settlements.
The people are socially and culturally part of neighbouring Zanskar and support the 18th-century Rangdum Monastery belonging to the Gelugpa sect of Tibetan Buddhism.
