Drak Kar Treldzong
Located sixty kilometers north of the sacred mountain of Amnyé Machen, Drak Kar Treldzong ('The White Cliff Monkey Fortress') is a sacred pilgrimage site, in Amdo, very close to the informal northern boundary of Golok.
The cliff is filled with sacred caves where many great masters have practiced, like Guru Rinpoché, Yéshé Tsogyal, and Zhabkar Tsokdruk Rangdrol.
In 1902, Trülku Drimé Özer was sent by his father Düdjom Lingpa to Drak Kar Treldzong to reveal termas there.
Apang Tertön also revealed termas in Drak Kar Treldzong.
In 1917, Déwé Dorje left Pennak and journeyed to Drak Kar Dreldzong, as she knew the Khandro Gongpa Düpé Chöter could be revealed there. But due to the auspicious conditions having not been gathered, she had to leave the terma there.

Since the early 8th century, Tibetans and Himalayan people have treasured "Namtars" as written or spoken narratives that demonstrate the realization of the Buddhist path by exceptional practitioners. These namtars, or spiritual biographies, serve as inspirational guides on the path to enlightenment.
Today, Namtars Foundation aims to record, preserve, and freely offer the world a written and electronic treasury of the oral wisdom of Tibetan and Himalayan Buddhism.
