Cacella arrived in Shigatse in November 1627 and Cabral followed in January 1628. Although the Jesuits were well received and had high hopes for the success of the mission in Shigatse, it only lasted a few years. Father Cacella's poor health led to his death during 1630 in the high Tibetan plateau. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Cheri_Monastery_Bhutan-070317.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/67/Cheri_Monastery_Bhutan-070317.JPG/220px-Cheri_Monastery_Bhutan-070317.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/67/Cheri_Monastery_Bhutan-070317.JPG/330px-Cheri_Monastery_Bhutan-070317.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/67/Cheri_Monastery_Bhutan-070317.JPG/440px-Cheri_Monastery_Bhutan-070317.JPG 2x" data-file-width="2848" data-file-height="2136" /></a><figcaption>Chagri Monastery, <a href="/wiki/Bhutan" title="Bhutan">Bhutan</a></figcaption></figure> <p>While in Bhutan, Father Cacella and Father Cabral met <a href="/wiki/Zhabdrung_Rinpoche" title="Zhabdrung Rinpoche">Shabdrung</a> <a href="/wiki/Ngawang_Namgyel" class="mw-redirect" title="Ngawang Namgyel">Ngawang Namgyel</a>, and at the end of a stay of nearly eight months in the country, Father Cacella wrote a long letter from <a href="/wiki/Chagri_Monastery" title="Chagri Monastery">Chagri Monastery</a>, to his superior in Cochin in the Malabar Coast; it was a report, <i>A Relação,</i> relating the progress of their travels.

We believe it might be the kingdom of Cathay because that of Sopo belongs to the Tartars who we understand are constantly at war with China, according to information given by the King who also says that the King of China rules over a larger population; however he believes that the people of Sopo are stronger and thus normally defeat the Chinese, which is in agreement with all that is already well known about the war between the Tartars and the Chinese, and as the kingdom of Cathay is very large and the only on this side that is next to that of the Tartars as the maps show, it seems we can deduce with some probability that it is the kingdom known here as Xembala. The fact that it is not known here by the other name does not contradict our assumption, as neither China, Tartary or Tibet are known by these names, the people here having no knowledge of them; China they call Guena [rGya-nag], Tartary Sopo, and Tibet Bothanta; we are told that the way to the kingdom of Xembala is very difficult; however, I trust in the Lord because as He has brought us this far with our thoughts focused on that kingdom, so will He take us where we can see it close up, and thus next year I shall send Your Reverence news of it.....with the help of the Lord I shall try to go into the kingdom of Xembala where perhaps, either there or in another kingdom in the area, our Lord will give us the opportunity to serve Him, and next year I shall inform Your Reverence of everything we can find out" </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a
