Tang Valley

[1] It is located 11 km away from Jakar, the administrative center of Bumthang District, Bhutan.

It trails higher up the lake called Mebartsho.

[2] Guru Rinpoche in his attempt to subdue Khikha Rathoe, a son of Trisong Detsen, flew Khikha Rathoe and his ministers on a wooden aeroplane.

As the aeroplane flew higher it caught on fire and Guru Rimpoche landed it on a rock at a valley in Bumthang.

It is believed that the valley was named after the sound the aeroplane made on landing: 'Tang'.
