Chatral Rinpoche has shunned institutional and political involvement his whole life, choosing instead to live the life of a wandering yogi. To this day, despite his great age, he continue to move about continually, rarely remaining in one place for more than a few months. A lay yogi, he is also greatly concerned with maintaining strict discipline in the context of the Dzogchen view. He is especially well known for his advocacy of vegetarianism and his yearly practice of ransoming the lives of thousands of animals in India. In addition to his emphasis on the union of view and conduct, rinpoche also stresses the practice of retreat. He has established numerous retreat centers throughout the Himalayas, including in Pharping, Yolmo and Darjeeling.

The name or rather the title Chatral/Chadrel Rinpoche is one you could say of respect or recognition, and has been given many time to a great many different Lamas from all the major and minor lineages of Tibet. It's meaning is quite literally "Precious Hermit" or "Precious Ascetic", and as such is given as a sort of honorific nick-name, to those masters whom spend all their time in retreating in mountain hermitages.

Because of this you may find a search under this title to produce someone other than who your intending to look for. Thus here is a list of, broken into the two categorizes of modern and historical, figures known that are sometimes know by the name Chatral/Chadrel Rinpoche.
