The village is located some 26.1 miles east of Kungtang and 13.1 miles north of Orma.
The village is often also known to the Tibetans as Dzongkha, Songka-dzong, Jung-ka-tsung, Jongkha Dzong, Jung-ha-tsung, Tsung-ka, Jung-ka, Jung-ha, Jongka Dzong, Chi-lung, or as Kyirong (meaning "Happy Village"). Nepalese trans-himalayan traders rendered Kyirong as Kerung (Nepali: केरुङ), hence the British in India called it Kirong.
