Rangdum from Osgom (Do-Khom) to Pentsela pass and Kanjila including all the big and small valleys and gorges from the glacier to either side of the river, the entire uninhibited area with its pasture, water and herb, wood, its possession and ownership, all had been offered to His Holiness Ngari Rinpochey, the supreme incarnate as a pure religious donation by King Tsewang Namgail of Ladakh vide his government order in the month of tigeryear in 18thcentury. “The successive kings of Ladakh confirmed the donation orders. Similarly, the Maharajas of J& K and the successive state governments have also confirmed this donation by not altering the orders of the king.
