Luxury & Small Group Tours to Guge, Tibet

Guge Kingdom, nestled in the remote Ngari Prefecture of Tibet, was a flourishing civilization from the 10th to 17th centuries. Today, the ruins of Guge offer a compelling exploration of Tibet's ancient history and culture. The remains, dramatically set against the stark landscape, include fortresses, cave dwellings, and monastic complexes. Tsaparang, the kingdom's old capital, features intricate murals and sculptures showcasing the high level of artistic achievement of the time. Tholing Monastery, Guge's spiritual center, is adorned with exquisite Buddhist art. The Guge ruins, a silent testament to a lost kingdom, offer a rare glimpse into a lesser-known period of Tibetan history, making it a captivating destination for history and culture enthusiasts.

A range of thrilling experiences handpicked by our experts. Don’t see one that’s just right for you? No problem. Our local insiders will create precisely what you want.

Guge Kingdom Ruins

Venture into the ancient ruins of the Guge Kingdom, a powerful civilization that thrived between the 9th and 17th centuries in Western Tibet. The once-great kingdom now lies in ruins, offering a haunting yet fascinating glimpse into the region's history. Wander through the remnants of palaces, monasteries, and temples, and marvel at the stunning frescoes and intricate carvings that have survived the test of time.

Tholing Monastery

Discover the Tholing Monastery, one of the most significant monasteries of the Guge Kingdom, and an important centre of Buddhist art and learning. Founded in the 11th century, the monastery features a collection of well-preserved murals and sculptures that showcase the artistic achievements of the Guge period. A visit to Tholing Monastery provides a deeper understanding of the region's religious and cultural history.

Zanda Clay Forest

Explore the Zanda Earth Forest, a striking natural attraction characterized by its unique, eroded landforms. The forest consists of towering clay pillars, deep ravines, and unusual rock formations, resulting from centuries of wind and water erosion. The otherworldly landscape of the Zanda Earth Forest offers an unforgettable backdrop for hiking and photography.

Sutlej River Valley

Admire the breathtaking scenery of the Sutlej River Valley, which cuts through the heart of the Guge region. The river originates in the Tibetan Plateau and winds its way through deep canyons, vast plains, and towering mountains, creating a diverse and awe-inspiring landscape. The Sutlej River Valley is an ideal destination for trekking, camping, and photography.

Ghost City

Uncover the mysteries of Tsaparang, the ancient capital of the Guge Kingdom, now known as the "Ghost City." The abandoned city is perched atop a rocky outcrop, with its crumbling buildings and fortress-like walls clinging to the cliffs. Explore the labyrinthine passageways, hidden chambers, and exquisite murals that hint at the city's former glory.

White Stupa

Discover the Chorten Karpo, or White Stupa, a sacred Buddhist monument located in the Guge region. This beautifully preserved stupa features a series of intricate carvings and statues that illustrate the life of Buddha. Surrounded by a serene landscape, the Chorten Karpo offers a peaceful retreat for reflection and meditation.
