Rohtang
Pass is the highest point, 4,112m, on the
Manali -Keylong
road, 51-km from Manali
town. It provides a wide panoramic view of mountains rising far above
clouds, which is a sight truly breath-taking. It offers only limited
skiing opportunities, but trekking possibilities are immense.
The pass is open from June to September, although trekkers can cross the
pass from May. Beyond Rohtang pass lies the remote and, perhaps, the stark
and haunting landscape of predominantly Buddhist areas. The comparative
inaccessibility of the place has helped preserve the pristine culture of
the people of the region.
CLOTHING
