Sissu in Lahaul Valley to witness silence for 44 days
Shimla, Jan 14,
Sissu, a popular tourist destination in Himachal Pradesh’s Lahaul Valley, will suspend its adventure tourism activities for 44 days starting January 16, due to religious and cultural considerations. The suspension will last until February 28, aligning with the Halda and Poona festivals, during which the region upholds the sanctity of rituals in Chandraghati.
The decision to pause activities was taken unanimously by community representatives, including the Raja Ghepan Committee, Devi Bhoti Committee, Labrang Gonpa Committee, and members of the Women and Youth Board of Sissu Panchayat.
As a result, adventure attractions such as ATV rides, hot air ballooning, zip-lining, skiing, and tube sliding will be temporarily closed. Local food stalls offering popular delicacies like Pahadi Maggi and salty tea will also be unavailable during this period.
Sissu Panchayat, led by Panchayat Pradhan Rajeev, informed the Deputy Commissioner Rahul Kumar and SDM Rajneesh about the restrictions during a meeting on January 1. The delegation also requested that traffic to the Sissu helipad be suspended to preserve the tranquility of the valley. Consequently, vehicles traveling from Nursery to the helipad will be restricted.
Despite these changes, visitors will still be able to enjoy the scenic beauty of snow-covered areas along Highway 3, including the stretch from Pagalnala to Ropsang and from the North Portal of Koksar Panchayat to Pagalnala. The Yangla Ground in Gondhla Panchayat remains open for tourists seeking serene winter landscapes.
The decision to halt adventure activities comes after a surge in tourism, driven by the recent snowfall and freezing temperatures. Although the suspension of adventure tourism may disappoint thrill-seekers, it highlights the region’s commitment to preserving its cultural and religious traditions during this sacred time.
For the next 44 days, Sissu offers visitors a peaceful retreat amidst its pristine, snow-laden landscapes, allowing for a more tranquil and culturally respectful experience in the Lahaul Valley.

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She
put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and
it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know
this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
