Shelkar

Shelkar is a town in western Tibet between Lhasa and the Tibet-Nepal Friendship Bridge. It is famous for the Shelkar Chode Monastery, one of the oldest monasteries in Tibet, although dismantled by the Chinese Red Guards after the Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1959. "Shel" means "crystal," and "kar" is the Tibetan word for "white."
