Athang ( Dzongkha : ཨ་ ཐང་ ) is one of fifteen Gewogs (blocks) of the Dzongkhag Wangdue Phodrang in central Bhutan . Athang Gewog is in turn divided into five Chiwogs (constituencies). According to the census of 2005, 808 people live in this weight on an area of 785 km². The electoral commission lists twelve villages in the Athang Gewog. The Dzongkhag Administration refers on its website to a census from 2012 and states a population of 1980 people in an area of 746 km², who live in 26 villages or hamlets in 174 households.
The Gewog is located in the southeast of Wangdue Phodrang district and is one of the most remote and inaccessible in the district. It extends over altitudes between 1000 and 3500 m and is located in the subtropical climate zone. The sandy loess soils are fertile and well suited for arable farming. Rice, wheat, corn, buckwheat, millet, barley and mustard as well as chili peppers, potatoes and radish are grown. The most important fruit trees are citrus trees, followed a long way by peach, pear, apple and walnut. Athang Gewog is also known for the smoked fish produced there.
In addition to the Gewog administration for medical care, there are two medical advice centers ( outreach clinics ) at state institutions . Since 2006 one of the schools in Gewog has been a primary school, the Singye Namgyal Community Primary School in Miktana.
In total there are four chörten and seven Buddhist temples ( Lhakhangs ) in this Gewog , including the Morokha Lhakhang , the Jarogang Lhakhang , the Phaktakha Lhakhang and the Shoba Lhakhang .
