It was the first place in Tibet visited by the Mission, and where the negotiations commenced...These Jongs or Castles are scattered all over Tibet, and it is difficult to obtain any history of them; but they appear more like Feudal Castles, from which, in bygone days, their owners issued forth to raid their neighbours'.
