Explore the Bountiful Beauty of Rohtang Pass with Hirecab


High up above the edge of the Himalayas at an altitude of 3978 m is the Rohtang Pass. The Rohtang is a natural divide between the Kullu valley and the Lahaul and Spiti Valley. The pass is flanked by the Beas River on the south and the Chandra River on the north. The Rohtang pass is located 53 km from Manali and is traversed by the Leh-Manali highway.




What is the Rohtang Pass?

Passage to the pass is difficult due to the steep gradient of the roadway and the narrow dimensions of the road. The Rohtang Pass is a difficult road to navigate due to the extreme altitude and the ever changing weather conditions along the stretch of the roadway. Due to constant changes in weather conditions and sudden appearance of fog at anytime, the Rohtang Pass is extremely prone to accidents. Due the low temperatures caused by the high elevation extreme snowfall can occur at anytime even in the summer months posing as a potential hazard for avalanches and rock slides making the Rohtang Pass an extremely dangerous roadway to cross.  Due to the high occurrence of deadly accidents, the name of the pass literally translates to “field of corpses.”


Why do people Visit?



Despite the grim name the Rohtang pass attracts many visitors and tourist due to its spectacular panoramic views of the Himalayas, comfortable cold weather despite the summer months and the thrill of adventure. The Pass is the gateway to major tourist attractions in the Lahaul Spiti Pangi and Leh valley and flocks of tourist visit this area for a multitude of outdoor activities from Snow biking, Skiing, hiking and mountain biking. The amazing views of the area also attracts tourists from world renowned photographers to nature lovers. The Rohtang pass offers the most incredible views in India.

When is the best time of the year to visit?

The best time to visit the Rohtang pass is during favorable weather that can be found in between the months of November to May. Even with the summer months it does not guarantee that the road will be easily passable as the road is covered by snow the whole year due to its extremely high elevation.

Things to know before  visiting

Due to the high influx of tourist and the small dimensions and narrowness of the road at bottlenecks, the local government of Manali has strictly regulated the passage in the area. The passes can be obtained at the official website of the Tourism Development Council of Manali: http://admis.hp.nic.in/ngtkullu/
