Jispa

Common card · No. 377766

Jispa (elevation 3,200 m or 10,500 ft; population 202) is a village in Lahaul, in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. It's located along the Manali–Leh Highway (NH‑3) on the banks of the Bhaga River, approximately 20 km north of Keylong and 7 km south of Darcha. It serves as a popular overnight stop for travelers en route to Lahaul‑Spiti or Ladakh. Jispa experiences a cold, high-altitude climate with summer temperatures rising to around 15 °C and nighttime lows often near 3–5 °C. Heavy snowfall isolates the village from November to April. The completion of the Atal Tunnel in 2020 has drastically reduced travel time between Manali and Jispa, making it a preferred overnight halt for travelers heading to Leh.
