Things to do in Sissu Valley

  • Enjoy the waterfall

It is especially breathtaking to see the waterfall, called locally as "Palden Lhamo dhar," across the Chandra River from the town. The well-known Lahaul deity known as Ghepan/Ghepang or Lord Gyephang resides in the neighbouring town of Shashin. Gyephang Goh is the name of the mountain to the east of the town, which rises to a height of 5,870 metres (19,258 feet). Moreover, Sissu boasts a Helipad and a nearby Lake, both of which are popular with tourists.

  • Explore Labrang Gompa Temple

Although Sissu serves as the centre of numerous nearby villages, including Labrang, the Labrang Gompa, a Buddhist temple, is accessible to outsiders. For the adjacent villages of Ropsang-Khangser-Gyungling, Gomathang, Yangling, Jagdang, Sarkhang, Shurthang, and Labrang, Sissu serves as the primary town centre. Moreover, the Labrang Gompa in Labrang Village is a Buddhist temple honouring Palden Lhamo. Sissu lies within a few kilometres from the Rohtang Tunnel's north entrance, therefore this area will remain linked all year. As a result, it will grow in popularity as a travel destination in the years to come.

Best time to visit

Between April and August, Sissu enjoys good spring and summer weather, when the fields of potatoes and cauliflower are in full bloom. Winters, which last from November to February, bring significant snowfall and peak temperatures that can drop below zero degrees Celsius. The ideal time to visit Sissu is in the fall, from August to September, when the golden poplar trees start to lose their leaves and the temperature is comfortable. (Around 25 degrees celsius).
