The Gue Village Mummy of monk Sangha Tenzin….

The mummy, identified as that of monk Sangha Tenzin, was found inside a tomb at Gue village in the cold and remote Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh, India about 6000 metres above sea level.
Gue villagers have known about the mummy since 1975, when an earthquake struck the region and brought down a part of the tomb.
However due to the remoteness of Gue, in a desolate mountainous area close to India’s border with China — restricted to the public and under the control of the paramilitary Indo-Tibetan Border Police — the mummy’s existence has remained under wraps.

The localsl of the Gue Village are really nice people & they go beyond their duty to help U. When we reached Gue at the Temple where the Mummy is kep,we found it locked !…after travelling for 3 hours from Lhanza to the Village that too on such dangerous roads reached Gue, we could not find the person who held the keys to the Mummy-house. Upon knowing our situation the village men came together to find that person who held the keys and eventually found him around the corner of the village in a matter of minutes…after that we were offered tea-snacks by the village men at their houses even though we were strangers to each other…the kids were very happy when I gave them the Mango Flavoured sweets I took from Kolkata…their smile genuine and we were able to have a good look of the Mummy because of them
