About
Rohtang Pass is a high mountain pass in the Himalayas, in Himachal Pradesh, India. At 3,978 metres above sea level, it links the Kullu and Lahaul valleys, and it is also known as Rohtang La. The pass sits within reach of Manali, which makes it a common day excursion for visitors staying in the town.
What a visit offers
- Snow activities, which are the pass's best-known draw
- Wide views of the Himalayan peaks and surrounding valleys
- A mountain landscape that feels very different from the town below
The journey up is itself part of the experience, as the road climbs steeply through changing scenery. Because of the altitude, it is wise to dress in warm layers, even when the valley below is mild, and to allow time to acclimatise if you are arriving from a lower elevation.
