The walk was long, but incredibly beautiful. When I reached the monastery, the holy spaces were dusty and disorganized with empty cardboard boxes. The tapestries at the monastery were beautiful. All in all, the monastery felt sad, not joyful as others have felt to me. I associate Buddhism with the saying, “May All Beings Be Happy.” I found a beautiful dog on the second floor terrace tied up on a very short chain. I suspect the dog was depressed because it barely lifted his head as I walked by, did not wag his tail, did not register pleasure at being petted and looked blank. It was a disappointing sight.

The Shashur Gompa has an amazing view of the river below and of the town. This monastery has a few monks who spend the winters here. The main temple is beautiful and the friendly monks have plenty of stories to tell if you patiently hear them out. It is not by any means a big monastery, but the feel and the vibes are just at another level. We were fortunate enough to experience light snowfall while visiting this place. The beauty is just breathtaking. A must visit place if you come to keylong. A warning though, the road leading to the monastery is not for the faint hearted. Steep and very narrow.

Location:5/5 Ride experience:5/5 Enroute experience: 100/5 Any point in Spiti valley is out of the world. Keylong is no exception. Instead of going to keylong monestry as a customary touristy location, decided to take a turn towards Shashur Gompa at 6k MTR high. The most charming fact is the location. Once you reach, you will practically see the entire keylong town in the snow Adobe and the intimidating mountainous range. Can't justify in a review. Take your parents, something they will cherish forever.

Sha-shur in the local parlance means in the blue pines. This is very apt as good patches of blue pine can still be seen around the monastery.

This gompa was founded in the 17th C. AD by Lama Deva Gyatsho of Zangskar who was a missionary of Nawang Namgyal, the king of Bhutan. The lamas of the gompa are of the Drugpa sect (red hat sect). Namgyal founded this sect and the name originated from Dug which in the Bhoti language means Bhutan. Before Deva Gyatsho renovated the present monastery, there existed a small gompa. Deva Gyatsho stayed at the monastery till his death. When he was being cremated, this is said, his heart did not burn and was enclosed in a black image of Gyatsho. A statue of Namgyal is also present in the gompa.

This gompa has the biggest Thanka paintings, over fifteen feet, and invalueable wall paintings depicting all the 84 siddhas of Buddhism. In the month of June/July Chham is performed in the monastery which is the most popular...
