Bodpa from Tungkudenpa Village shares an account of the genealogy of the three ethnic groups of the Ngangla community in Zhemgang: the Brelha, the Lhamanpa, and the Jarpa. The Brelha community is native to Ngangla, the Lhamenpa came from Bumthang, and the Jarpa came from Shar Ngawang in Wangdue District. The Jarpa are said to descend from the older brother of Khoché. The older brother was sent by his parents to accompany his younger brother when he went to Ngangla to become the local ruler. The descendants of the older brother came to be known as the “Jarpa,” which means the "attached" ones.
