The '''Chugpa''' are one of the few smaller tribes of [[Arunachal Pradesh]], living in the [[West Kameng]] district around [[Dirang]]. They are a tribe of the [[Monpa people|Monpa]].<ref>{{cite book|title=Awareness in Weaker Section: Perspective Development and Prospects|author=Mahendra Lal Patel|publisher=M.D. Publications Pvt. Ltd.|year=1997|isbn=81-7533-029-5|page=253}}</ref>

Like other Monpa, they are also adherents of [[Tibetan Buddhism]]. However, like the [[Lishipa]], they are considered just as inferior to the [[Monpa people|Monpa]] as both groups are descended from the early waves of immigrants from [[Tibet]] via [[Bhutan]] or from [[Tibet]]. Like most [[Buddhist]] tribes, they built houses based on stones and follow a [[Tibetan Buddhist]] culture, though they might not be as advanced as the [[Monpa people|Monpa]]. Their language belongs to the [[Tibeto-Burman]] group.
