Guge Kingdom

Guge was an ancient dynastic kingdom in Western Tibet. The kingdom was centered in present-day Zanda County, Ngari Prefecture, Tibet Autonomous Region. At various points in history after the 10th century AD, the kingdom held sway over a vast area including south-eastern Zanskar, upper Kinnaur district, and Spiti Valley, either by conquest or as tributaries. The ruins of the former capital of the Guge kingdom are located at Tsaparang in the Sutlej valley, not far from Mount Kailash and 1,200 miles (1,900 km) west from Lhasa.

 

The disappearing of Guge Kingdom is considered as one of the top uncovered mysteries of Tibet. How did Guge Kingdom disappear overnight? How a kingdom with rich and well-developed culture disappeared so suddenly and completely like the ancient Mayan civilization?
