 Tholing and neighboring
Tsaparang are the ruined
former capitals of the
ancient Guge Kingdom of
Western Tibet. Apart from
the monasteries, chortens
and palaces at Tholing and
Tsaparang the whole area is
remarkable for its amazing
eroded scenery, cut through
by the Sutlej River on its
way to the subcontinent. The
monastic complex at Tholing
was founded in early 11
century, was once Western
Tibet's most important
monastic complex. |
