Sissu (also known as Khwaling) is a small village in India located in the Himachal Pradesh Valley of Lahaul.
Sissu is a small village in Himachal Pradesh’s Lahaul Valley, situated high above on a large area of land on the Chandra River’s bank. In the local dialect, Sissu is referred to as Khagling. On your trip to Keylong and then on to Leh, it’s roughly 90 kilometres from Manali. The distance between Sissu and Keylong is 30 kilometres, and the distance between Sissu and Leh is 380 kilometres. Sissu is home to the famed ‘Raja Geypan’ temple. While passing through Sissu, residents and Himachalis from far and wide pay their respects to Lord Geypan, who is famed for sheltering the inhabitants of the Lahaul valley.
Sissu hamlet, which has since grown into a little town, is well worth visiting. This location has the advantage of being on the national route that connects Manali and Leh. Greenery abounds in this village, with lush willow and poplar trees, steep mountains, and a lake. In the background, the famed Gyephan peak can be seen in all of its glory. Potatoes, peas, barley, and buckwheat grow in the fields. On the hills, wild roses and other alpine flowers in various shades of red, white, yellow, and blue can be seen. Sissu is also a lovely camping spot, thanks to its abundant greenery and tranquil setting.
Tourists will arrive in Sissu via the Rohtang/Atal Tunnel’s North End, which is surrounded by high peaks such as the Gyephang Goh. The spectacular vista of the Palden Lhamo dhar waterfall, locally known as Palden Lhamo dhar, attracts many visitors. There’s also a helipad on the premises. Because Sissu serves as the administrative centre for numerous nearby villages, including Labrang, visitors are welcome to visit the latter’s Buddhist Gompa, known as Labrang Gompa.
Sissu Falls is a tourist attraction that attracts visitors from all over the world. It reflects the captivating beauty of nature, which is pleasing to the eyes. A carefree experience is the most charming traveller destination in Himachal Pradesh. The peace, tranquilly, and assistance that the general public experiences when they come here invigorates the psyche. If someone misses out on the chance to see Sissu Falls, they will be missing out on nature’s most daring splendour. It is one of the most vital and fundamental wellsprings of holiday destinations.
Sissu’s weather is similar to Manali’s, with the exception that Sissu gets more snow in the winter. However, after you get to Sissu, the terrain and scenery, as well as those of Lahaul, are vastly different from that of Kullu Valley.
