The Kingdom of Guge, founded in 868 and became a focal
point for the preservation of Buddhism in Tibet until
the 17th century. After the assassination of King Lang
Darma in 842 by his own brother, the Buddhism in Tibet
was completely snuffed out for nearly 100 years. In
1040, a renowned Indian Master named Atisha arrived in
Guge Kingdom and spent some times at Toling Monastery
where he created a resurgence of interest in Buddhism
which eventually spread all over Tibet. Tsaparang and
Toling retained their importance within Western Tibet as
political and religious center until the 17th Century.
Today, more than 300 years later, all the remains is a
huge complex of caves, living quarters and temples, some
of it in an excellent state of preservation, the rest in
ruins. This place can be visited combining with Mt.
Kailash and Lake Manasarovar via either northern route (Shiquanhe)
or from southern route via Saga - Paryang and
Manasarovar. The tour itinerary can be varied according
to the time frame and places you would like to cover
within the itinerary. Below, we have designed an
itinerary that commences from Lhasa. In Lhasa, we spend
a couple of days for sightseeing propose after that we
continue our journey to Western Tibet via major
highlighted places of central Tibet (Gyantse, Shigatse
Sakya etc.). The tour eventually takes us to the Guge
Kingdom and toward to Nepla via Zhang-Mu (the Tibetan
border town).
