Rohtang Pass, Manali

Rohtang Pass, Manali (India)

Rohtang Pass is a high mountain pass on the eastern end of the Pir Panjal Range of the Himalayas around 51 km from Manali in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. It connects the Kullu Valley with the Lahaul and Spiti Valleys of Himachal Pradesh India. The pass is open from May to November. It is not particularly high or difficult to cross on foot by Himalayan standards but it has a well-deserved reputation for being dangerous because of unpredictable snowstorms and blizzards.
