    History

    Langza's history is deeply intertwined with its geological past. Millions of years ago, the region was submerged under the Tethys Sea. As the Himalayas rose, the seabed was uplifted, leaving behind a treasure trove of marine fossils. The villagers have long been aware of these fossils, often finding them while working in their fields. These fossils provide invaluable insights into the region's prehistoric environment. The village's cultural history is rooted in Tibetan Buddhism, with the ancient Langza Monastery serving as a testament to its spiritual heritage. The local economy has traditionally revolved around agriculture and animal husbandry, but tourism is increasingly playing a significant role in recent years. The village's remote location has helped preserve its unique culture and traditions.
