Tibet Guge 05 Tsaparang 02 Entrance  [7 of 11]


Tsaparang is 21km west of Tholing (Zanda). From left to right are the Chapel of the Prefect, the Yamantaka Temple, the Red Temple, and the White Temple. The trail then climbs to the former residential quarters, where monks' cells were tunneled into the clay hillside. Finally, the route goes into the hillside and through tunnels before emerging in the ruins of the palace citadel at the very top of the hill, with the Demchog Temple just visible to the left. Photographing inside the buildings was strictly forbidden.
