Passage: Kangri Karchok, the Kailash Purana of the Tibetans describes the sacred elephant-mouthed river or Langchen Khambab as a long and extensive river that rises from the ‘lake unconquerable’, the Tso Maphan or Manasarovar that flows from the mountainous regions of Tibet. According to this holy-book, this cold river with its sands of gold, circles the holy Manasarovar seven times before taking its course to the west. 2. The Langchen Khambab flows down from the red coloured mountains of the Kanglung Kangri Glacier in the Trans- Himalayan region of Tibet, channelling its way through the earth forests of Tholing and Tsparang of the Gugi Kingdom. These earth forests are full of pillars formed by rocks that collectively appear like a forest from afar — an ‘out of the world’ landscape that was formed é by geological movements of the earth and erosion by wind and water. The Khyunglung ruins also lies on the northern bank of the Sutlej river in this valley which was once known as the ‘Garuda Valley”.
