Historical and Spiritual Significance of Pangong

Historical, Cultural Experiences & Spiritual Significance of Pangong

Man has long been part of the trade and pastoral circuits of the Changthang plateau. Traditionally, the region was used by Changpa nomads for grazing and travel.
The village shares cultural roots with Tibet and maintains traditional Ladakhi Buddhist practices, including local rituals, folk songs, and farming customs.
Man, along with Merak and other southern lakeside villages, was historically less accessible, helping it preserve its untouched character.
The region’s importance increased after the India-China conflict of 1962, and Man is now located near a sensitive military zone.
