Road Access Update: Darcha to Sarchu, Gramphu-Losar, and Darcha-Shinkula Roads Reopen
Great news for travelers! Vehicular movement on the Darcha to Sarchu, Gramphu-Losar, and Darcha-Shinkula roads has reopened as of June 2024. Previously, these roads were closed for vehicular traffic from November 20, 2023, due to seasonal conditions. The Lahaul-Spiti administration had issued orders last year to halt the movement of vehicles on these routes for the winter season. With the summer season now in full swing, the roads are once again accessible, offering a scenic and adventurous drive through the region’s stunning landscapes. Plan your trip and enjoy the breathtaking views and unique experiences these routes offer.

Manali-Leh Highway is now open for tourists.
Highlights:
Darcha-Sarchu, Gramphu-Losar, and Darcha-Shikula roads were closed earlier from November 20. Now in June 2024, roads are open but please check weather conditions before planning your journey.
The Manali-Leh Highway, a ribbon of adventure strung across the Himalayas, is more than just a road; it’s a journey through the clouds. Connecting Manali in Himachal Pradesh to Leh in Ladakh, this 428 km stretch is a high-altitude path that weaves through some of the world’s loftiest mountain passes. With breathtaking views of pristine landscapes, it’s a route that promises the thrill of the unknown at every turn. Open from May to October, it’s a bucket-list voyage for intrepid travelers seeking the raw beauty of nature and the ultimate road trip experience.
With the increase in cold in the mountains, snow has accumulated on the roads in Kunjum Pass, Baralacha, and Shinkula Pass, hence traveling has become risky.
The road is narrow and slippery beyond Baralacha.
Manali-Leh Highway Opening Date
You can expect the opening of the Manali-Leh Highway in Jun 2024. The opening date is delayed due to the recent snowfall beyond Manali toward Leh, this also slows down the process of clearing snow from the road by BRO. 15th May 2024 has also passed and still road is open for tourist vehicles.
