Ngari Prefecture, Administrative division in western Tibet, China
The prefecture spans 304,683 square kilometers at an elevation of 5,037 meters, making it one of the largest high-altitude regions in Tibet.
The territory formed the heart of the ancient Guge kingdom and served as a crucial point along trade routes connecting Tibet with neighboring regions.
Buddhist monasteries like Zhabura, Chiu Gompa, and Zheri maintain traditional Tibetan practices while serving as centers for religious studies and ceremonies.
The Ali Kunsha Airport connects the region to Lhasa with flights lasting ninety minutes, replacing previous multi-day road journeys through mountainous terrain.
The region contains prehistoric petroglyphs near Rutog that document human presence in this high-altitude desert environment through ancient rock carvings.
