The ridges north and east of the valley, the home of the people later called Tamang, who are mostly Buddhist in the later census (their economy in 1200, portering and herding included, is inferred from the geography and not checked).

They sit on the road the valley's wealth runs on, and the valley kings' hold on them is the question of the rim.
