"A Offbeat Serene Village in Lahaul Valley"

Jispa Tourism

Jispa is a village on the banks of the Bhaga River in the Lahaul and Spiti District, and is located at a distance of 20 km from Keylong and about 92.3 km from Manali. Even though Jispa is often considered as a pitstop on the Manali - Leh route, the scenic beauty of the place, surrounded by snow-capped Himalayan mountains, glacial lakes and Buddhist stupas makes Jispa an ideal place for camping and trekking.

Jispa is the ideal offbeat mountain destination with just about 80 households, and a lesser crowd, where you can appreciate the life and livelihood of the Lahauli people and the stunning geography at peace. There are a few homestays and hotels in Jispa, but especially during summer months, camping out in the many picturesque camping grounds is the most popular choice and the best way to experience Jispa. Jispa is accessible throughout the year after the Atal Tunnel opened.

1. Gemur Monastery

Gemur Monastery is a 17th-century Buddhist Monastery, about 5 km from Jispa, in the village of Gemur. The monastery was built by Tagtshang Raspa and is considered to be one of the central seats of Tib (Read More)etan Buddhism in Lahaul Valley. The monastery has several valuable tangkas (silk paintings), and a sculpture of Marichi and Vajravarahi, Buddhist Goddesses. The Gompa also houses many wall and miniature paintings, statues, Stupas (chortens), and ancient Buddhist artifacts. The monastery hosts an annual Devil-Dance-Drama in the month of July.

2. Camping in Jispa

Jispa is famous for its camping grounds overlooking the Baga River and the Himalayas, under the starry-sky. Travelers from Manali to Ladakh and back, often halt in Jispa for overnight outdoor camping. (Read More) There are many private companies providing sturdy, wind-proof camps, which come along with food, restrooms and electricity. You can also rent out camps and set them up yourselves.

Charges:
Packages: From INR 2600
Tents: INR 400 - INR 800

Must Know Before You Travel to Jispa

Options for food are limited, and basic north-Indian and Tibetan food is served in a few roadside stalls
BSNL is the only stable network, even though connectivity is sometimes not available even for that. A few places in Jispa may also get Jio, but other networks don’t generally work.
The last ATM is in Keylong, about 23 km away, so take out cash prior to reaching JIspa
The last petrol station is about 25 km, and it is better to carry ample extra fuel if you’re traveling by your own vehicle.
Carry all essential medicines, as the medical stores in Jispa may only have basic medicines.
