HALJI GOMPA CONSERVATION PROJECT

The Halji Gompa Conservation Project was established by Nepal Trust, an NGO working with health, education, sanitation, renewable energy, eco-tourism, heritage conservation and student programmes in Humla District. To initiate an international programme to raise funds for the repair and rehabilitation of the Gompa, John Sanday Associates were commissioned to undertake a survey of the existing condition of the structure and fabric, historic and cultural values of the Gompa and to make recommendations for its repair and rehabilitation.

JSA prepared the physical and structural survey of the Gompa and detailed recommendations for a development strategy together with budget estimates for the repair and rehabilitation of the Gompa Complex. The consolidation of wall paintings and emergency repair work of the structure of the Gompa was carried out in 2003. The JSA field team included a conservation architect, an Italian wall paintings restorer and a master carpenter. The project was a part of the historic monuments conservation and training programme and is expected to continue in Halji and other parts of the region in future.
