Nako To Gue Monastery | 500 Years Old Mummy | World's Most Dangerous Roads Spiti Valley!! Ep:9

The rugged landscape and rustic surroundings around the secluded villages on the Nako-Tabo-Kaza circuit in Spiti, which rest at an average height of 12,500 feet above sea level, are a dream destination for those seeking adventure on an offbeat frontier holiday.
For those who haven’t witnessed the sheer beauty of this ‘world within a world’ firsthand, here are a few breathtaking glimpses of the strikingly beautiful villages of Nako, Tabo and Kaza.

Tabo is a small town in the Lahaul and Spiti district on the banks of the Spiti River in Himachal Pradesh, India. The town lies on the road between Rekong Peo and Kaza (alternative spelling: Kaja), the sub-divisional headquarters of Spiti. The town surrounds a Buddhist monastery which, according to legend, is said to be over a thousand years old. The Dalai Lama has expressed his desire to retire to Tabo, since he maintains that the Tabo Monastery is one of the holiest. In 1996, the Dalai Lama conducted the Kalachakra initiation ceremony in Tabo, which coincided with the millennium anniversary celebrations of the Tabo monastery. The ceremony was attended by thousands of Buddhists from across the world. Tabo Monastery's spiritual head is Tsenshap Serkong Rinpoche.

Gue is a village in the Lahul & Spiti district of the state of Himachal Pradesh in India. In this little village lays the perfectly well-preserved 500-year-old mummy of Sangha Tenzing. It was a Buddhist monk from Tibet. It was found in a sitting position, with his skin and hair intact.[1] The village is about 40 km from the Tabo Monastery. The latitude 31.11 and longitude 77.16 are the geocoordinate of the Gue.
The village is located just kilometers away from the India-China border where a 550-year-old mummified monk, Sangha Tenzin is being guarded. A few years ago, there were reports that it had been stolen from the shrine and found its way across the border. Though, due to the activeness of local authorities returned the mummy to the shrine. It is believed that natives claim to know of its existence since the mid-Seventies, inside a tomb at a different location. A number of people apparently saw the mummy for the first time after an earthquake disfigured the tomb. But it was only during the excavation by the ITBP that the mummy was "officially" found and moved to its current location.
The village is located 10,000 feet above sea level in Lahaul and Spiti district. It is 500 km away from the state capital, is located between the towns Sumdo and Tabo. The village was also in the news when a snow leopard reportedly killed more than 40 goats and sheep in the remote village which was later wards by officials of the forest department’s wildlife wing.
