India history and geography

: Wikipedia: India History

Taklakot is another name for Purang—a town which serves as the administrative center of Purang County, Ngari Prefecture of the Tibet Autonomous Region, China. The town lies at an altitude of 3,900m (12,795 feet) in the valley of the Karnali River. [...] To the south are Gurla Mandhata (Mount Namonanyi) and the Abi Gamin ranges. Lake Manasarovar and Mount Kailash are to the north. This region is the mythological and actual river nexus of the Himalaya with sources of the Indus, Ganges and Yarlung Tsangpo/Brahmaputra all within 110 kilometres (70 mi) of Purang.

Nepalese call the town Taklakot from Tibetan 'Takla Khar' (Tibetan: stag la mkhar). Takla Khar means Tiger Hill Castle, which is the name of a historic Zhang-zhung fortress in the county.
