Divine Landscape in Ngari Western Tibet

July,27 2016 BY Master Catherine Jigme 0 COMMENTS
Content

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.
