Rohtang Pass Tunnel
The tunnel is popularly known as Atal Tunnel and is around 3,000 meters in Himachal Pradesh, making it the world’s highest motorable tunnel. Our current Prime Minister, Narendra Modi inaugurated Rohtang Pass on 3rd October 2020.
Built by the Border Roads Organization (BRO), Rohtang Pass Tunnel is 9.02 km long, connecting Manali to Lahaul-Spiti Valley. The tunnel has reduced the distance between Manali to Leh by nearly 46 km and travel time by 4 to 5 hours.

It is important to note that the tunnel remains closed for about 7 to 8 months due to heavy snowfall.
