Dakpa Sheri[c] (Tibetan: དག་པ་ཤེལ་རི, Wylie: dag pa shel ri, THL: dak pa shel ri,[7] Chinese: 达瓜西热; pinyin: Dá guā xī rè), explained as "Pure Crystal Mountain" and also known as Tsari (Tibetan: རྩ་རི, Wylie: rtsa ri), is a mountain in the eponymously named Tsari region in Lhöntse County of Tibet's Shannan Prefecture. The mountain is considered sacred for Tibetans and the pilgrimage route circumambulates the mountain.[4][8] Takpa Siri ridge consists of four hills/ passes and four water bodies.[4][2]

Following border tensions between China and India, the pilgrimage was stopped after 1956.[9]
