	Rohtang Pass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rohtang Pass connects the Kullu Valley with the Lahul and Spiti valleys of Himachal Pradesh, India.
		The pass provides a natural cultural divide between the foothills and wet lowlands of northern India and its primarily Hindu culture, with the dry desert uplands north of the first range of the Himalayas and its mainly Buddhist and heavily Tibetan-influenced culture.
		The road through the Kullu Valley, past Manali and over the Rohtang Pass to Keylong, and Lahul and on to Ladakh, has become very busy during the summer months as a military route, because of the troubles in Kashmir which have meant that the road from Srinagar to Leh is now less used.

		T 13,400 feet, the pass commands a breathtaking view of the valleys on either side and as one gasps for breath one wonders why it is called a pass at all for it does not have that narrowness associated with one.
		Short of Rohtang, there are several stalls giving coats, jackets and snowshoes on rent to prepare you for the cold up on the pass.
		Rohtang may be an exhilarating experience but with its hazardous climatic conditions it is not visitor-friendly for it remains closed for a major part of the year and is open to tourists only between May and August.

		It was in fact something to do with the snowfall of the season which fell last on 10th of June to a height of 10 to 15 feet at Rohtang in the Pir Panjal range in Himachal Pradesh and in Lahaul and Spiti, valleys of the Great Himalayan range in the same state.
		A number of skiers benefited form the extended snowfall and Rohtang was consequently crowded with a brazen touristy claim.

		SHIMLA: The plan to build a 9 km, all-weather tunnel as an alternative to the high-altitude Rohtang Pass in Himachal Pradesh has received a boost, as SMEC International, an Australian construction firm, is assigned the task of preparing the project's design.
		Once the detailed report is ready, work will begin early next year on boring the tunnel to connect the Kullu valley to the snowbound Lahaul valley by an all-weather route instead of the present route through the 13,050-ft high Rohtang Pass that remains under snow for more than half of the year.
		Overlooking the popular resort town of Manali, the Rohtang tunnel will be located at around 9,500 feet and would reduce the distance of the 480-km Manali-Leh road by 46 km, BRO officials said.
