Giu is a small village situated at a height of around 10,000 ft, between the towns of Sumdo and Tabo. A steep 8 km climb on a road that branches from NH-22 takes you to Giu village. The shrine with a dead body dried up through a natural process, with its eyes, teeth and hair intact, is present there. This Tibetan mummy is over 500 years old. The Mummy was found by workers of Indo Tibetan border police working to construct a border surveillance post near Sumdoh. It is said that the mummy is of a Lama mediating. Whatever might be the truth behind this mysterious mummy, it’s worth visiting Giu to see this wonder.
