Sissu (also known as Khagling) is a small town in the Lahaul valley of Himachal Pradesh in India. It is around 90 km from Manali and located on the right bank of Chandra river. It has a PWD Rest House, a High School and Primary Health Centre. There are a few 'chai shops' or tea stalls.
The view of waterfall opposite the town locally known as 'Palden Lhamo dhar' is particularly spectucular. The adjacent village of Shashin is home of the famous deity of Lahual known as Ghepan/Ghepang. In fact, Sissu is the main town centre for the nearby villages of Ropsang-Khangser-Gyungling, Gomathang, Yangling, Jagdang, Sarkhang, Shurthang and Labrang. Labrang village also has a buddhist Gompa called as Labrang Gompa dedicated to Palden Lhamo.[citation needed]
