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.
