Story of my friend

During tourist season it is better to head toward Rohtang Pass early in the morning, As one of my friends from the state of Uttar Pradesh tried to visit the Rohtang Pass a few months back. He left his hotel in Manali at around 9:00 AM. I informed him it was closed but still, he tried to visit Rohtang pass and was sent back by police before Gulaba. In Solang Nala, snow was not there at that time So they tried to visit Sissu and were again sent back by cops from the Atal Tunnel in Rohtang as it is closed to tourists. Snow is there near Atal Tunnel Rohtang so they enjoyed it there and came back to Manali, they reached Manali at 9:00 PM and it took 12 hours for them to get back to their Hotel in Manali.

   In December month, because of Christmas and New Year, Manali gets flooded by the vehicles of tourists coming from outside Himachal. So please plan your itinerary before reaching here.
