Pagri was a staging area en route to [[Gyantse]] and ultimately [[Lhasa]].

During the summer of 1912, the [[13th Dalai Lama]] met [[Agvan Dorzhiev]] at Phari Dzong and then accompanied him to the [[Samding Monastery]], before returning to Lhasa after his exile in India.


[[Thubten Ngodup]], the current [[Nechung Oracle]], was born in Phari in 1957.

The houses are mostly made of Tibetan traditional stone and wood. The Pagri Valley lies in an alpine [[steppe]] zone on the south side, with an average annual temperature {{convert|-0.2|C}}, and an extreme maximum temperature of {{convert|19.3|C}}.<ref name="Baidu"/> Annual precipitation is about {{convert|380|mm}}, snow and ice melt forming rich water resources, shrubs and meadows development, a good place for the development of animal husbandry. Pagri is rich in minerals, wild animals, plants, and tourism resources. It is also a trading centre but due to geographical location is prone to natural disasters.<ref name="Baidu"/> Summer flash floods, mudslides, winter avalanches, snowstorms, etc. are common, and poor facilities makes it vulnerable to disaster.<ref name="Baidu"/> During the rainy season, water levels rise causing serious flooding, reducing soil quality and arable land every year, damaging the ecological environment and a threat to the inhabitants of Pagri.<ref name="Baidu"/> To the northeast of Pagri is [[Mount Jomolhari]].

Owing to its extreme altitude, Pagri has an [[alpine climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''ETH'') that is [[Tree line|too cold to permit the growth of trees]], even though the altitude is still marginally too low for the formation of [[permafrost]]. Example [[Mount Fuji]] in Japan, [[Uelen]] in Russia and [[Longyearbyen]] in [[Svalbard]] Norway. The winter is severe in spite of the fact that no month has daytime maxima below {{convert|0|C|F}}, and also very dry and long, extending as late as May. Snowfall, however, is rare because of the dryness. Summers, during which the great majority of precipitation occurs, are cool even at their warmest and consistently damp, even though the Himalayas prevent falls from ever being heavy.

Phari[1] or Pagri[2] (Tibetan: ཕག་རི, Wylie: phag ri; Chinese: 帕里镇; pinyin: Pàlǐ Zhèn) is a town in Yadong County[3] in the Tibet Autonomous Region, China near the border with Bhutan. The border can be accessed through a secret road/trail connecting Tsento Gewog in Bhutan (27°41′56″N 89°11′21″E / 27.698912°N 89.189139°E / 27.698912; 89.189139) known as Tremo La. As of 2004 the town had a population of 2,121.[citation needed] It is one of the highest towns in the world, being about 4,300 m (14,100 ft) above sea-level at the head of the Chumbi Valley.[4]

History

[edit]

Thomas Manning, the first Englishman to reach Lhasa, visited Pagri from 21 September until 5 November 1811 and had this to say about his room in the town: "Dirt, dirt, grease, smoke. Misery, but good mutton."[5][4] The Pagri Fortress (Dzong) was located here and was important for the government as it stood between Tibet and Bhutan. Pagri was a staging area en route to Gyantse and ultimately Lhasa.

Thubten Ngodup, the current Nechung Oracle, was born in Phari in 1957.

Climate

[edit]

Owing to its extreme altitude, Pagri has an alpine climate (Köppen ETH) that is too cold to permit the growth of trees, even though the altitude is still marginally too low for the formation of permafrost. Example Mount Fuji in Japan, Uelen in Russia and Longyearbyen in Svalbard Norway. The winter is severe in spite of the fact that no month has daytime maxima below 0 °C (32 °F), and also very dry and long, extending as late as May. Snowfall, however, is rare because of the dryness. Summers, during which the great majority of precipitation occurs, are cool even at their warmest and consistently damp, even though the Himalayas prevent falls from ever being heavy.
