Galyarusa - Galyarusa

Japanese: ガルヤルサ - がるやるさ
Galyarusa - Galyarusa

The name of a place in Gar County, southwest of the Ali region of the Tibet Autonomous Region, China. Formerly known as Gartok (Ka Da Ke). To the north lies the Gangdise Mountains, to the south the Himalayas, and the Gar River, an upper stream of the Indus River, flows northeast. The New Tibet Expressway (Kargilku-Lhatse) runs through the area towards Luttu and Shigatse. Livestock farming, mainly sheep and yaks, has developed here, and naked oats are cultivated in the river valley. During the Qing Dynasty, it developed as the largest town in the Ali region, and was opened as a market along with Tsemo and Gyangtse by the 1904 British-Tibet Treaty (Lhasa Treaty), and trade with India and Britain was conducted via Kashmir for wool, green tea, and other products.

中国、チベット自治区アリ地区南西部のガル県にある地名。旧称ガルトク(噶大克)。北側にはガンディセ山脈、南側にはヒマラヤ山脈が横たわり、インダス川上流部のガル河が北東に流れる。ルトゥやシガツェ方面に新蔵自動車道(カルギリク―ラツェ)が通じる。ヒツジやヤクを主体にした牧畜業が発達し、河谷地域では青稞(チンコー)(ハダカエンバク)栽培が盛んである。清(しん)代にはアリ地区第一の町として発展、1904年のイギリス・チベット条約(ラサ条約)によって、ツォモ、ギャンズェとともに市場として開放され、羊毛や緑茶などを対象にカシミール経由でインド、イギリスとの交易が行われた。
