The Gewog is located in the eastern part of Bumthang and extends over altitudes between 2800 and 5000 m . According to the 2005 census, 1816 people in 32 (according to the electoral commission's census 26) villages or hamlets in around 300 households live in this area of 511 km².
The schools in the Gewog include two elementary schools and one secondary school, the Mesithang Lower Secondary School . For medical care there is a basic care center ( BHU, Basic Health Unit ) and eleven community health workers ( VHW, Village Health Worker ).
The people of Tang Gewog make a living mainly from agriculture and cattle breeding. Wheat, barley, buckwheat and, as cash crops, potatoes and apples are grown.
