Tang ( Dzongkha : སྟང་ ) is one of four Gewogs (blocks) of the Dzongkhag Bumthang in central Bhutan . Tang Gewog is in turn divided into five Chiwogs (constituencies). 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. In the village of Tandingang there is a dairy that was originally a sheep rearing center operated by the Ministry of Agriculture. In 1997, the fourth King Jigme Singye Wangchuck transferred the farm to the people of Tang Gewog.
