Shedup Choepelling Temple
शेडुप चोपेलिंग मंदिर
A monastery in Mussoorie's Happy Valley Tibetan community, built in 1960 by Tibetan exiles, with fluttering prayer flags and views over the mountains.
After 1959, the first wave of Tibetan exiles settled in Mussoorie, and Happy Valley remains a Tibetan community today, with a Tibetan school and this Buddhist temple completed in 1960. The temple is brightly colored, and its shrine houses a statue of Shakyamuni Buddha. Prayer wheels and prayer flags surround the courtyard, and the hillside offers wide views. Entry is free, but visitors must remove their shoes before entering the shrine and keep quiet. Nearby Tibetan restaurants serve momos and thukpa, about 2 km from Library Square.
