An ascent to the citadel is strenuous, but you will be rewarded with breathtaking views and insights into the history of western Tibet. In my following article you'll read why a visit to the ruins of Tsaparang should definitely be on your to-do list for Tibet and what you can see here in the forgotten kingdom of Guge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Non-solicited, unpaid advertising.

The fortress consists of three buildings: the Summer Palace, the Mandala Palace and one level below the Winter Palace. The Winter Palace is carved into the rock for better heat storage and has windows on only one side. From here there is also a secret escape tunnel. At the same time this tunnel secured the water supply in times of siege. Unfortunately the buildings were locked during our visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large td-caption-align-https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_09.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"5343\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/olympus-digital-camera-472\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_09.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;6.3&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Eiswolf&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;E-M1MarkII&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1561096347&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Mareike Schadach&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;15&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Aussicht von der Zitadelle Tsaparang\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Oben von der Zitadelle bieten sich euch beeindruckende Bergpanoramen&lt;\/p&gt;\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_09-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_09-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Aussicht von der Zitadelle, einer der Ruinen von Tsaparang im K\u00f6nigreich Guge \" class=\"wp-image-5343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_09-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_09-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_09-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_09-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_09-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_09.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Up from the citadel you will find impressive mountain panoramas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At the top there is a breathtaking view of the Sutlej valley.

They are also one of the few preserved works in the old Kashmir art style. This is particularly recognizable by the slender figures, narrow waists and long fingers. In addition to the murals, the White Temple also contains extremely impressive ceiling paintings and ornately decorated wooden columns. The temple is the most important temple in western Tibet. Before the Cultural Revolution it housed 22 statues. Today, however, only 10 figures, some of them badly damaged, can be seen. Among them are 7 of 16 Boddhisatva statues, as well as two protector statues at the entrance of the temple. These were reconstructed on the basis of old photographs. The Buddah figure and all other statues opposite the main entrance are missing. Instead, numerous holes can be seen on the wall in which the figures and the garlands surrounding them were previously anchored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large td-caption-align-https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_18.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"5348\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/olympus-digital-camera-477\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_18.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;6.3&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Eiswolf&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;E-M1MarkII&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1561101125&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Mareike Schadach&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;12&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.000625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Der Wei\u00dfe Tempel von Tsaparang\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Der Wei\u00dfe Tempel von Tsaparang &lt;\/p&gt;\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_18-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_18-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Der Wei\u00dfe Tempel von Tsaparang  im K\u00f6nigreich Guge \" class=\"wp-image-5348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_18-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_18-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_18-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_18-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_18-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_18.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The White Temple of Tsaparang is the most important temple in western Tibet. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-der-rote-tempel-von-tsaparang\">The Red Temple of Tsaparang <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Red Temple (Lhakhang Marpo) was built around 1470. However, the murals were painted shortly before the fall of the kingdom of Guge in about 1630. They show scenes from the construction of the temple and also from the life of Buddha. At the entrance you can see the Green and White Tara as well as eight Stupas. The latter symbolize the eight events in Buddha's life. As in the White Palace, the roof of the temple is supported by elaborate wooden columns and is also decorated with impressive ceiling paintings. Opposite the entrance all Buddah and Boddhisatva statues are destroyed. Their remains are piled up in the middle of the temple, the heads of the figures partly enthroned on the rubble heap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large

Even though Tsaparang is \"only\" about 3,800 m above sea level, the ascent is quite breathless. So take your time to stop by for a few more times (there are plenty of great photo opportunities). What's also important: on the way and above there are no possibilities to buy water. There are no toilets either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large td-caption-align-https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_16.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"5347\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/olympus-digital-camera-476\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_16.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;6.3&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Eiswolf&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;E-M1MarkII&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1561098665&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Mareike Schadach&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;66&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0008&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Gebetsfahnen an der Zitadelle Tsaparang\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Gebetsfahnen wehen oben an der Zitadelle und sind ein tolles Fotomotiv&lt;\/p&gt;\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_16-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_16-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Gebetsfahnen an den Ruinen von Tsaparang im K\u00f6nigreich Guge \" class=\"wp-image-5347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_16-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_16-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_16-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_16-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_16-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/guge-kingdom-tsaparang-tholing_16.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Prayer flags waft up at the citadel and are a great photo motif.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/kloester-tibet\/\"> Here you can go back to my main article about the monasteries in Tibet. <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-buchempfehlungen-f-r-tibet\">Book Recommendations for Tibet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You want to know where the journey goes?
