1959年3月西藏騷亂之後，中華人民共和國國務院廢除噶廈官制，並喺1965年成立西藏自治區。達賴喇嘛帶領一部分噶廈成員逃走到隆子宗，最後駐留喺印度北部嘅達蘭薩拉，建立西藏流亡政府。西藏流亡政府嘅噶廈係最高行政機關，由一位首席噶倫同唔超過七位嘅噶倫組成。
After the riots in Tibet in March 1959, the State Council of the People's Republic of China abolished the Xiaguan system and established the Tibet Autonomous Region in 1965. The Dalai Lama led some of his members to flee to the Longzi sect, and finally stayed in Dharamsala in northern India to establish a Tibetan government-in-exile. The Tibetan government-in-exile is the supreme administrative body, consisting of a chief Kalun and no more than seven Kalons.
