Kyide Nyimagon[2] (r. c. 900 – c. 930)[3][4] (Tibetan: སྐྱིད་ལྡེ་ཉི་མ་མགོན, Wylie: skyid lde nyi ma mgon, THL: kyi dé nyi ma gön), whose original name was Khri-skyid-lding, was a member of the Yarlung dynasty of Tibet and a descendant of emperor Langdarma. He migrated to Western Tibet and founded the kingdom of Ngari Khorsum ("the three divisions of Ngari")[5] around 912 CE. After his death, his large kingdom was divided among his three sons, giving rise to the three kingdoms of Maryul (Ladakh), Guge-Purang and Zanskar-Spiti.
