Geography & terrain

Sissu lies in the Lahaul and Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh at about 3,150 m, 30 km from Keylong and 140 km from Manali — the village of the region, its waterfall, the willow lanes and the views set on the Chandra valley's floor.

History & culture

The village's story runs with the 2010s rebuild era — the village of the Chandra valley and the 2010s-era rebuild of the 2000s-era landslide life, with the village's modern role as the halt of the Leh highway circuit and the home of the waterfall and the willow lanes and the Buddhist gompas; the village's history of the 2020s-era camping and the keylong stop, gives Sissu its valley character.
