Dalai Lama followers in India ( mostly offsprings of old Tibetan aristocrats who followed Dalai Lama into India, they lost all their slaves in Tibet ).

Sorry for them, if Dalai Lama still ruled Tibet, these young Indian Tibetans could still be wealthy slave owners inheriting all the wealth and slaves from their fathers and grandfathers.

Rutog County and Pangong Tso Lake: Follow us to Find out More Hidden Treasures in Western Tibet

Tashi Delek from Western Tibet! Today, I will show you the most desolate and remote area in Tibet with an average altitude of over 4500 meters above sea level. Visit https://www.tibettravel.org/ More than 1,575 kilometers away from Lhasa, Rutok County, the destination of today’s journey, is a small county located in the northwest part of Ngari in Tibet. 120 kilometers southern to Shiquanhe in Xinjiang, Rutok County is also the gateway for an overland journey from Xinjiang to Tibet via the National Highway G217. Due to the high altitude and harsh climate, most of the area is uninhabited. But it is the heaven or the Shambhala for wild animals in Tibet, such as antelopes, wild yaks, wild donkeys, and black-necked cranes. Tashi Delek from Western Tibet! Today, I will show you the most desolate and remote area in Tibet with an average altitude of over 4500 meters above sea level. More than 1,575 kilometers away from Lhasa, Rutog County, the destination of today’s journey, is a small county located in the northwest part of Ngari in Tibet. 120 kilometers southern to Shiquanhe in Xinjiang, Rutog County is also the gateway for an overland journey from Xinjiang to Tibet via the National Highway G217. Due to the high altitude and harsh climate, most of the area is uninhabited. But it is the heaven or the Shambhala for wild animals in Tibet, such as antelopes, wild yaks, wild donkeys, and black-necked cranes. Why travel to this place? If you still have no idea about the county of Rutog, when I talk about Pangong Tso Lake, you may have heard about it. Pangong Tso in Rutog County is the world’s highest saltwater lake of almost 4,350 meters above sea level. As one of the largest areas of natural wetlands on the planet, Pangong Tso Lake is a paradise for migrant birds. You can enjoy Pangong Lake boating to watch birds at the Bird Island and appreciate the myriad colors of Pangong Tso Lake. In fact, there are three more highlights of Rutog County that fewer people know and only a few tourists have the chance to see since it is the road less traveled in normal Tibet tours. The ancient rock painting, left by early men in Tibet, is another highlight of a trip to Rutog County. The images carved on stones are mostly of animals, such as monkeys, birds, and tigers. Also, there are patterns of the sun and the moon. The last two highlights of Rutog County are the ancient fortress and the monastery standing at the top of an isolated hill in the small town. With a history of 800 years, the monastery was reconstructed a few years ago and now only six monks live here. I have no idea how big it is, but I’m sure it is much bigger than Potala Palace. If you travel from Lhasa to Xinjiang or vice versa, you will cross through the beautiful Rutog County. It is highly recommended you to spend some time in this small county to explore this little-known destination in the far west of Tibet.

And life expectancy in Tibet region would be as low as those found Indian low caste.
