(1977) ''Primates of South Asia: ecology, sociobiology, and behavior''. Harvard University Press, Cambridge (MA)</ref> They possibly occur in Afghanistan.<ref name=Brandon-Jones/> The bulk of the gray langur distribution is within India, and all seven currently recognized species have at least a part of their range in this country.<ref name=Groves2001/>

Gray langurs can adapt to a variety of habitats.<ref name= "Oppenheimer 1977"/> They inhabit [[arid]] habitats like deserts, tropical habitats like tropical rainforests and temperate habitats like coniferous forests, deciduous habitats and mountains habitats. They are found at sea level to altitudes up to {{convert|4000|m|ft|abbr=on}}.<ref name="IUCNNepalgraylangur"/><ref name="IUCNKashmirgraylangur"/> They can adapt well to human settlements, and are found in villages, towns and areas with housing or agriculture.<ref name= "Bennett 1994"/> They live in densely populated cities like [[Jodhpur]], which has a population numbering up to a million.<ref name=r2/>
