7 to 8 hrs drive
Enroute Darcha is situated at the
junction of Yotche nullah and the Zangskar chhu which
takes off from the Shinkun la. Both these nullahs meet
with the main river Bhaga at this place. The valley
broadens out from Darcha. The altitude of Darcha is
about 3500 m. which makes it an ideal base camp for
acclimatisation. Two days acclimatisation at this place
will prove useful for expeditions to Baralacha la and
beyond. Darcha is the jumping off point for treks to
Padum over the Shinkun la or Baralacha la and Phirtse
la and for treks or mountaineering expeditions to Leh
and peaks of Chandra Bhaga series. However no tourist
bungalow or rest house facilities are available on
either side of the nullahs. A police check post is
also there. Darcha is the last village where one can
see sparse growth of trees. Beyond Darcha not even
a single tree can be seen on either side of the highway.
Landscape starts looking desolate and absolutely barren.
Glance at JISPA. This beautiful spot
is 22 kms away from Keylong and 4 kms ahead of Ghemur.
The village is situated at the junction of two nullahs
with the main river Bhaga. Jispa has a very large dry
river-bed, a rarity in Lahaul.Jispa is a new tourism
centre coming up with the monasteries of Yarji and
Photang where his Holiness the Dalai Lama gave the
Kal Chakra sermon a few days back to the Buddhists
all over the world. The mountaineering Institute of
Manali has a sub centre here for adventure tourism.
