Gar Günsa (Tibetan: སྒར་དགུན་ས, Wylie: sgar dgun sa), Günsa (Tibetan: དགུན་ས) or Kunsa, (simplified Chinese: 昆沙乡; traditional Chinese: 昆沙鄉; pinyin: Kūnshā Xiāng) is a township consisting of three administrative villages in Gar County in the Ngari Prefecture of the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, viz., Sogmai (སོག་སྨད) and Gar Chongsar (སྒར་གྲོང་གསར) and Namru (གནམ་རུ)[1][2] The modern Ngari Gunsa Airport is within the township.

During the 15th and 16th centuries, the Karma Kagyu lamas moved through the length and breadth of Tibet in "Great Encampments" or garchen.

[7][8] The ninth century bilingual text Mahāvyutpatti translated günsa as Sanskrit हैमन्तिकावासः (haimantikāvāsaḥ), literally, the residence of the winter season.

[12] But in the British nomenclature, the name "Gartok" was applied only to Gar Yarsa and the practice continues till date.

It was felt that the living conditions in Gar Günsa were extremely difficult.
