Looking for the best location for your holiday in Inda then Rohtang is one of the best places to travel in India. With snowy peaks, all around and icy breezes to give you chills, Rohtang Pass is the most popular spot for tourists to visit in Kullu Manali. There are mesmerizing sights of Lahaul Valleys and snow-clad glaciers and is a favorite adventure spot of travelers. You can try paragliding, skiing and take a ride on snow scooters but make sure to visit this destination during summer as the place is closed during most of the winter months due to heavy snowfall.
The name Rohtang means ‘ground of corpses’ due to the number of people who lost their lives trying to cross it. The Rohtang Pass is on the Pir Panjal Mountain Range of the Himalayas. The Rohtang Pass is a natural divide between the humid Kullu Valley, which has a predominantly Hindu culture, and the arid, high-altitude Lahaul and Spiti Valleys which mainly has Buddhists.
Rohtang remains open from June to October. However, trekkers do head for the pass even before it opens for vehicular traffic.
