The village of Langza is commonly referred to as the “Fossil Village” and sometimes also as the “highest village in the world”. The name of the village is believed to have derived from the words ‘La’ which means a mountain pass and ‘Za’ which is short for Zama, a form of clay pottery practiced in the village. Another theory states that the name comes from the word ‘Lang’ – the village temple.
The village and its nearby areas are full of marine fossils; one of the many things that put Langza on the tourist map.
