Drowai Gonpo (aGro bai mgon po, c. 1508–1548) was a king who wielded power in parts of Central Tibet from 1524 to 1548.
Drowai Gonpo was a son of the ruler Ngawang Tashi Drakpa (d. 1564), the last important leader of the dynasty and known by the Fifth Dalai Lama as the "King of Tibet".
[1] His mother was a lady of the Rinpungpa family, which was dominant in the Tsang region of West Central Tibet.
In 1524 Drowai Gonpo was established as sub-ruler in Gongri Karpo to the west of the Nêdong palace where his father dwelt.
[3] The move of a part of the Phagmodrupa family to Gongri Karpo caused serious internal feuds in the dynasty, some years after the death of Drowai Gonpo (1548).
