Tamang territory was controlled with the kipat land system: a clan used to have permanent communal rights over its settlement and cultivation area. Lately, this system was abolished, but the ex-kipat areas are today owned by the same families who held it before. Each village has its headman named by the community and approved by the central authorities. He acts as a leader of social activities and collects revenues for the government.

Almost all of Tamang are Buddhist.

They carve prayers on stone tablets and let them on the margin of the streets.

They use to build shrines in memory of dead relatives and throw a celebration in the village when the construction was completed.

The Tamang language belongs to the Tibeto-Burman language family.
