Divine Landscape in Ngari Western Tibet

July,27 2016 BY Master Catherine Jigme 0 COMMENTS

Located in the west of the Tibet Autonomous Region, the Ngari Autonomous Prefecture is home to dozens of world-reknowned lakes and mountains including Mt. Kailash and the Mapam Yumco Holy Lake.

Sitting at an elevation of 4,500 meters above sea level, Nagari, for a long time, remains mysterious to the outsiders for a long time because of its high elevation and seclusion.

In recent years, tourists have been able to leave footprints in the once-reclusive place thanks to the fast developed tourism industry and transportation in Tibet.

The imposing landscape of the Ruins of Guge Kingdom. Guge was an ancient kingdom founded by a branch of descendents of the last king of a unified Tibet in the 10th century. It had flourished for more than 700 years before encountering civil strife and foreign attacks and falling into disrepair. Now visitors can see its ruins of temples and palaces with their inscriptions, statues and murals remaining intact. The city wall with fortresses at each corner is also standing.

The beautiful scenery of the Lake Mapam Yumco. As one of the three sacred lakes in Tibet, Lake Mapam Yumco is a place respected by the Tibetan people. Lake Mapam Yumco is 4,587 meters above sea level.The lake covers an area of 412 square kilometers and is 77 meters deep.
