The Jispa Journeys

Overview

The stay

Running since 2005, The Jispa Journeys is one of Lahaul's larger, longer-established camps — a spread of Swiss cottage tents and a couple of huts on around 25 bighas facing the Bhaga river, just off the Manali–Leh highway at Gemur–Jispa.

Days here are quiet and unhurried: tea on the lawn, walks along the river, an on-site restaurant for warm meals, and cold, star-thick nights. It's a natural first or last halt for anyone driving on to Baralacha, Sarchu and Leh.
