It is a direct freeway from Manali- Leh. One of the main tourist destination in Manali. It is know for skiing and snow Mountaineering, the weather of that particular altitude is very pleasant and unpredictable. No doubt it is very crowded and very very messy all over you will find paper, plastic bags and empty bottles. The snow motors appear more worst thing in that place , while driving it on snow it Tyre convert snow to muds........Sanitation problem is also there.BOO to HP TOURISM
This is a main attraction in Manali. This is placed on the top of the hills where some area is plane. If you want to enjoy the snow without going to Kashmir, this is the right place. Here rather than snow you will also enjoy snow bike riding, skiing and Paragliding, woohoo.The best time for wondering here is from sunshine morning to evening. You need to hire a cab or taxi from local providers to reach there and also hire clothes and snow shoes. The time when the fresh snowfall has occurred is the best time, but you have to be lucky for that. If more snowfall has occurred and roads are slippery, than you will not be allowed to go for Rohtang Pass exactly. You will be carried to the intermediate place that comes on the way to Rohtang.Time to watch out is After the mid of December to the mid of January. After January the possibility of snowfall is high and you wont get chance to go for Rohtang. Because roads are closed if heavy snowfall occurs.
A very scenic drive ! you drive through a road which has one of the best views in the world !! its just so amazing to be up in between the mountains that too in your car !! to feel it you have to drive you car there !!

sometime, some thing you can not be expressed by telling of writing !This is one of the item for me ! Although I was there in a not proper season; but it was a great experience for me, for 4 of us ...The earlier you start, the better view u can have ...Dress might be problem, but not for all ..Keep energy for long walk & fun ...
I traveled to rohtang pass in Mid November 2014 with my wife...We hired a royal enfield through a friends recommendation. I feel It is the best thing you can do in manali..Travel on bike to rohtang...Weather was awesome, no snow fall on the road. There were some snow covered peaks in rohtang....Its just 51 Km from rohtang but the journey is superb..Curvy roads, beautiful nature. Absolute must for bikers and road quality is very good thanks to BRO ! You can get small eateries on the way & on top of rohtang pass. Well there is not much to do at the actual spot but you can enjoy the great himalaya and its beauty from top ! Overall great fun ...
We had visited Manali 2 years back and the main reason was to visit Rohtang pass. It really gets risky when u go up (although only 4 wheel cars are allowed), as the snow on the road makes the car skid. It takes at least 2 hrs to reach top of the peak and once you are there its heaven. U can c the Laddak border which looks beautiful. Avoid going to Rohtang between July-Sept as snow melts and the mud blocks the way. Lastly, don't forget to enjoy the snow bike ride which is an unforgettable exp.
This place is 'The Awesome place'. It was such a wonderful moment and views that I still feel like to go back there and have a cup of coffee in those mini tea stalls. It was too chilling. I recommend to wear heavy warm clothes. We hired bikes from manali (I.e. Thunderbird and Royal Enfield, which actually gives you the real feeling). Because we liked the ride so much that we decided to go the next day also. Yea I will definitely go to that place once again.
Breathtaking view of the snowy Himalayas. i encountered fresh white snow which is soft and interesting. quad bikes and 4 wheel drive vehicles are available to take you a ride. alternatively one can take a walk. Go with proper precautions like heavy warm cloths, lip balms and moisturizers..
