Hello Bikram, Lahaul in October that too on an unexplored trail doesn’t look like a good idea to me. Unlike Dhauladhars, Lahaul gets unbearably cold. So choose wisely!

Dear Tarun, lots of thanx for the info. We are planning the trip in between 17th October and 25th October. Can you suggest what would be the night temperatures at that time in Sissu. Will it snow at that time in Ghepan Ghat? I will go with my wife. So, don’y want a heavy snowfall on the way.

Very nice adventurous travel write up about the Raja Ghepan Gath.
Which is a Gathh and not ghat
I think as in our language by Gath we mean flowing water or stream.
Must discuss it with some other people about its name

Dear Bikram, We didn’t hire any guide, so I can’t help you with that. On top of that, not many people have visited that area or rather haven’t even heard of that lake, so finding someone to accompany you to the lake would be little difficult. What you can do is ask around in Keylang, there is an Internet shop there, that fellow has been to the lake.

Secondly, the trek is moderate but considering it is Lahaul, I will advise you to take two days from Sissu to reach at the lake.

Third, take the trail that goes straight up from Labrang Gompa. You can email me or Whatsapp me for more details. (tarunokgoel->>facebook)

My best wishes.

Dear Tarun,

First of all awesome blog and photographs. I salute your energy and courage. Me and my wife are planning to visit Sissu in the end of Spetember. We would like to trek to Jhepan Ghat Lake from Sissu. Is it a moderate trek? We are amateur trekkers with basic trek experiences (tungnath, kedarnath, deoria tal). Can we do the trek? Can you please help us with some basic information like guide contact number, trek path details?

With Regards
Bikramjit

Yes Paramvir, we did. Infact we had to stay put for an extra day because of heavy downpour. Thanks for your comment.

No, Karun, not that way. May be GSI spotted it in 2003. For us, it was Naveen who found this lake. Before us, our friend Shiv Kumar had gone here but that too was Naveens plan.

He (Naveen) is the one who discovered this lake? Was it unknown to the whole world before 2005?
