Sissu is home to the Lahaul god Raja Ghepan and has become a popular tourist destination thanks to the Atal Tunnel and stunning night halts.

India is known as the "country of variety," and many people adhere to their faiths with zeal. People here celebrate several festivals, faiths, and rituals while maintaining their culture and traditions. So it should come as no surprise that Lahaul Valley's Sissu picturesque spot at the northern end of the Atal Tunnel in Himachal Pradesh has declared that it would be closed to tourists for the next 50 days so that local religious festivals may take place without 'noise'.
Sissu is home to the Lahaul god Raja Ghepan and has become a popular tourist destination thanks to the Atal Tunnel and stunning night halts. This is why several hotels and homestays have sprouted up here, bolstering the local economy. However, the locals emphasise that, while business is essential, their beliefs and religious commitments take precedence.
Sissu gramme panchayat even issued a resolution stating that Sissu's hotels, homestays, and guest houses will not accept bookings from now until February 28. The panchayat has also demanded cooperation from the police and the district government.
According to reports, everyone involved in the tourist industry has already closed their doors and begun worshipping all deities. The Halda event will begin on January 15, followed by the Dron and Puna New Year festivals. "We require perfect silence in the region, therefore not only the village, but also Sissu's lake, nursery, and helipad will be blocked," the gramme panchayat stated. We'd want a couple days away from tourists."
He went on to say that visitors would be inconvenienced for a few days, but that these religious tasks are vital to them. He also added that there should be no influence on tourism because these areas are separated after winter and that people would return to routine activities such as farming. and businesses only after 50 days.
