Thintans

Thintans are the inhabitants of Thini village. Thintans are from among the larger Panch Gaunle or five-village confederation. Thintans have six branches - Omthin, Tapothin, Chhothin, Chakithin, Dhangyangthin, and Langlangthin. The latter seem to have vanished now. Though some Thintans have adopted Buddhism, the old still adhere to Bon-po. Thintans are inherently traders, and practice farming and horticulture on the side.
