The Shey Gompa (Nepali: शे गुम्बा, She gumba) is a Buddhist monastery located in the She Phoksundo rural municipality of the Dolpa district in Nepal at an elevation of 4200m.[1] Shey Gompa means the Crystal Monastery in Tibetan.[2] It was established in the 11th century.[3][4] The monastery is considered to be the spiritual heart of Upper Dolpa.[5]
The monastery has a two-story building coloured in red and the interior has various Buddhist paintings.[2]
A festival called Shey Mela is organized every twelve years.[6] It is believed that in 1220 BS, the Kagyu tribe came to this place and started this festival as a symbol of winning against the evil spirits, the Rakshyas.[7]
