Most people who are traveling to *** from Chandigarh would usually break their journey at Manali. For those like me who have been to Manali numberous times, I'd seriously recommend to strech your journey by 100 odd kms and make a run for Jispa for your night halt. Jispa is a beautiful town located in Lahaul district of HP providing the most stunning views of the surrounding Mountains. Hotel Ibex is located exactly on the highway to ***. My check in process was smooth and hassle free. I found the tariff a bit on the higher side but that was OK since we had heard about this hotel and did not want to compromise on our stay. For food, they have a buffet or you can order on a la carte basis. I'd suggest to go for their buffer since they have a lot of varieties. As expected, the food was piping hot and delicious.The rooms were basic but a good nights sleep is guaranteed. If you are not short on time, you can even spend a full day here and then proceed towards ***. Since most of the tourists leave pretty early in the morning, they made sure that breakfast is ready and was promptly served to us. Overall I was pretty satisfied with my stay and would definitely stay again.
