Its South Portal sits about 25 km from <a href=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/hi\/destination\/manali\/\" data-type=\"destination\" data-id=\"12890\">\u092e\u0928\u093e\u0932\u0940<\/a>, and its North Portal opens into the Lahaul valley near Sissu. For travellers, it is the fast, all-weather link between the green Kullu side and the high, dry Lahaul side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It matters because before the tunnel opened in 2020, Lahaul was cut off for nearly six months every winter when Rohtang Pass closed under snow. The tunnel changed that. It also trims the Manali to Leh distance by around 46 km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing to understand up front: this is a working road tunnel, not a walk-in monument. You drive through it, you do not stop inside it, and the single most important thing to check before you set out is the current road status, because the tunnel can be operational while the approach roads are restricted by snow, landslides or police advisory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick Answer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Atal Tunnel is a 9.02 km all-weather highway tunnel under Rohtang Pass in Himachal Pradesh. It connects the Manali (Kullu) side to the Lahaul valley, with its South Portal about 25 km from Manali and its North Portal near Sissu. It is a transit route rather than a sightseeing stop, and stopping, parking or photography inside the tunnel is not allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<section id=\"htdlw-widget-1-3669\" class=\"htdlw-widget\" data-htdlw-widget data-htdlw-runtime=\"2.3.4\" data-destination=\"Atal Tunnel\" data-endpoint=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/hi\/wp-json\/himtrails-weather\/v2\/forecast\" data-units=\"metric\" data-days=\"7\" aria-busy=\"true\">\n\t<div class=\"htdlw-widget__card\">\n\t\t<div class=\"htdlw-widget__intro htdlw-widget__intro--embedded\" role=\"group\" aria-label=\"Destination forecast heading and unit controls\" style=\"display:grid!important;visibility:visible!important;opacity:1!important;height:auto!important;min-height:0!important;overflow:visible!important;position:relative!important;clip:auto!important;clip-path:none!important;\">\n\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"htdlw-widget__eyebrow\">Latest destination forecast<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"htdlw-widget__heading\" style=\"display:block!important;visibility:visible!important;opacity:1!important;height:auto!important;position:static!important;clip:auto!important;clip-path:none!important;\">Atal Tunnel Live Weather, Forecast &amp;

It carries the Leh-Manali Highway underground for 9.02 km, so vehicles can pass between Manali and Lahaul without climbing over the high, snow-prone pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was formerly known as the Rohtang Tunnel and was renamed in honour of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. The Border Roads Organisation built it, and it opened in October 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Geographically, it links two very different worlds. The South Portal side is the familiar green Kullu landscape near Manali. Step out of the North Portal and you are in Lahaul, which is high, open and dry. That contrast, felt within minutes, is what makes the crossing memorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why treat a road tunnel as a landmark? Because it solved a real problem. For decades, Lahaul was sealed off every winter once Rohtang closed. The tunnel gave the valley year-round road access. It remains, above all, a live transport corridor, so the rules that keep traffic moving take priority over sightseeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Travel Through Atal Tunnel?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For most travellers, the tunnel is the gateway, not the destination. Here is where its value genuinely lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is the practical route into Lahaul. If your plan includes Sissu, Keylong, Jispa or a longer Lahaul or Spiti journey, you will cross the tunnel, and that crossing is worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is an engineering landmark. A 9 km tunnel at over 3,000 m, with an escape passage built in, is a substantial feat, and the approach roads on both sides are scenic in their own right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It delivers a dramatic landscape change. Few places let you swap lush cedar valley for stark high-mountain desert in the space of a short drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A word of honesty: a standalone trip that drives up to the South Portal and turns straight back is a thin experience. The tunnel rewards you most when it is part of a Lahaul day trip or an onward journey, not a there-and-back drive for its own sake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">History and Engineering Significance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea of a tunnel under Rohtang goes back decades, driven by the need for reliable access to Lahaul and the border regions beyond. The foundation stone for the access road to the South Portal was laid in 2002, and tunnelling work advanced against difficult geology, including a notoriously unstable fault zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two ends met in a breakthrough in October 2017, and the completed tunnel was inaugurated in October 2020. It was renamed from Rohtang Tunnel to Atal Tunnel in honour of Atal Bihari Vajpayee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In plain terms, the tunnel is a single-tube, two-lane, horseshoe-shaped passage. It carries an escape tunnel built into the structure below the main carriageway, along with ventilation, fire-safety and monitoring systems and emergency telephones. These are operational safety features for a working highway, not visitor exhibits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its strategic and everyday importance is real. It shortens the Manali to Leh road distance by about 46 km and, more importantly for the people of Lahaul, keeps the valley connected through winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A note on records: the tunnel is often described as the world&#8217;s longest highway tunnel above a specific altitude. That claim carries a precise qualifying category, so it is best stated carefully rather than as a loose &#8220;world&#8217;s longest tunnel.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">South Portal and North Portal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two ends of the tunnel are not interchangeable. Weather, road conditions and facilities differ, sometimes sharply, on the same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Atal Tunnel South Portal (Manali side)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The South Portal sits about 25 km from Manali at roughly 3,060 m, reached via the road past Solang towards Dhundi. This is where most travellers enter. The surroundings are green and forested, in the classic Kullu style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photography and videography are banned within the signed zone approaching and through the South Portal, so plan to keep your camera away here. Stopping is managed by police, especially in busy season, and roadside shoulders are not parking. Congestion builds on summer weekends and during snow season. At over 3,000 m, expect a noticeable temperature drop even if Manali felt mild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Atal Tunnel North Portal (Lahaul side)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The North Portal opens near Teling and Sissu in Lahaul, at roughly 3,071 m. The landscape here is dry, open and dramatic, a complete contrast to the South side. Sissu, with its village, lake and waterfall, lies a short drive on, which is why most people continue rather than turn back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather on the Lahaul side can differ from Manali entirely: it may be clear here and raining there, or vice versa. Snow lingers longer, and roads onward can be interrupted by landslides or flash floods near Sissu even when the tunnel is open. Treat any stopping here as subject to police direction and local signage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Atal Tunnel Timings and Access<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Atal Tunnel does not function like a ticketed attraction with fixed visiting hours. It is a public highway and normally carries traffic through the day, throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, an operational tunnel can still be temporarily restricted. Access may be limited or halted for snow clearing, maintenance, traffic management, accidents or emergencies, and night-time movement in winter can be curtailed by ice on the approaches. During heavy snow, entry is sometimes allowed only to 4\u00d74 vehicles with snow chains, or to local residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the honest answer on timings is: the tunnel is generally open year-round, but you should always confirm same-day access through a current police or district advisory rather than assume it is open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Entry Fee, Toll and Permit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is where travellers most often get confused, so let us separate each item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no reported entry fee to pass through Atal Tunnel, and no reported toll for tunnel passage. No permit is required for the tunnel itself for Indian travellers in normal conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is different from Rohtang Pass, which does require a permit booked through the Himachal government portal. Crossing the tunnel is not the same as visiting Rohtang Pass, and the tunnel&#8217;s permit-free status does not mean every onward destination is permit-free. Some deeper or sensitive areas beyond may have their own requirements. Commercial vehicles can be subject to different rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because charges and rules can change, confirm the latest position before you travel, especially if you plan to continue well into Lahaul or beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Traffic Rules and Safe Tunnel Driving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This section matters more than the sightseeing. The tunnel is monitored by CCTV, and traffic rules are enforced with fines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Follow the posted speed limit on the signage inside; do not treat the tunnel as an open road. Stay in your lane and do not overtake. Keep your headlights on and maintain a safe following distance. Do not stop your vehicle inside the tunnel for any reason other than a genuine emergency, and do not park or make U-turns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photography and videography are prohibited inside the tunnel and within the signed zone near the South Portal. The driver must never use a phone or film while driving. If you break down, move as far to the side as possible, use hazard lights, and follow the emergency telephones and signage; then follow any instruction from police or tunnel staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two-wheeler riders should take extra care with cold, changeable conditions and possible black ice near the portals. Windscreens can fog as you move between warm and cold air, so keep demisting ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be clear: do not stop inside the tunnel for photographs. The only exception is if an authorised official directs you to stop during an emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Current Road and Weather Conditions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because conditions change fast, build a quick pre-departure check into your plan. Look at the Manali approach road and the Solang stretch, the tunnel status itself, and then the onward Lahaul road towards Sissu and beyond. In winter, ask specifically about snowfall and black ice; in monsoon, ask about landslides and rockfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The authoritative sources are the Himachal Police and the Kullu and Lahaul &amp; Spiti district administrations. In an emergency, the Lahaul-Spiti District Disaster Management Control Room can be reached at 9459461355.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two cautions. First, do not rely only on social media reels for road status; they are often out of date. Second, conditions at one portal do not represent the other. It is common for the South side to be clear while the North side is snowbound, or the reverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Time to Visit Atal Tunnel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The easiest access is broadly May to October, when snow is least likely to interrupt the approaches. Within a day, early morning is best: queues are shorter and mountain weather tends to turn in the afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weekdays are calmer than weekends and holidays, when traffic near the South Portal can build into long queues. In winter, the tunnel often stays operational, but the approaches can close at short notice after snowfall, and black ice is a real risk near the portals. In monsoon, the tunnel may be fine while the Manali approach or the Sissu side suffers landslides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We cannot promise snow near either portal, or clear views on any given day. Mountain weather does what it likes; plan flexibly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Reach Atal Tunnel from Manali<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The drive begins in Manali and heads up the valley towards Solang and Dhundi, reaching the South Portal in roughly 25 km. In good conditions this takes about an hour, though traffic, weather and roadworks can lengthen it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most people travel by private car or taxi. Two-wheelers manage it in fair weather with a capable rider and machine. Shared or local transport options exist towards Lahaul but are less frequent, so verify timings locally before relying on them. Expect police checkpoints on the approach, particularly in peak season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It helps to picture the trip in parts: Manali to the South Portal (about 25 km), the drive through the tunnel itself (roughly 15 to 20 minutes across 9 km), and then onward travel from the North Portal into Lahaul. A simple there-and-back to the portal is a short outing; a Sissu or Lahaul day trip is a fuller day, so plan your total time around where you actually intend to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parking, Stopping and Photography Locations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no tourist parking inside the tunnel, and stopping inside is not allowed. Near the portals, any stopping is managed by police and can be restricted, especially when traffic is heavy or snow clearing is under way. Roadside shoulders are not official parking, and stopping directly at a portal entrance is both unsafe and often prohibited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The practical approach: do your photography from safe, permitted spots well outside the signed no-photography zone, on either side of the tunnel, where you can capture the mountains and the portal context without blocking traffic. Where designated stopping or parking exists, use it, and always keep emergency access clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vehicle Suitability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most private cars and taxis in good condition handle the tunnel and its approaches comfortably in fair weather. Two-wheelers are fine for confident riders when conditions are dry. Buses and commercial vehicles use the tunnel routinely, subject to any category-specific rules. Electric vehicles should plan range carefully, as charging is scarce beyond Manali and cold reduces range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whatever you drive, check the basics before you go: tyres with good tread (and chains if officially advised in snow), adequate fuel, sound brakes, and working demisting for the windscreen. Carry a little breakdown readiness. We cannot vouch that every vehicle type is permitted in every condition, so confirm locally if you are unsure, and never treat this as a mechanical guarantee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Altitude and Traveller Suitability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both portals sit above 3,000 m. Simply driving through the tunnel involves only a brief time at altitude, which most travellers, including families, children and older adults, manage without difficulty. Spending longer at higher onward destinations in Lahaul is a different matter and deserves more caution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dress warmly even in summer, as it is much colder here than in Manali, and stay hydrated. Travellers with heart, lung or other health concerns, and anyone prone to altitude sickness, should take it slowly and seek professional medical advice before a higher-altitude trip. Medical support near the portals is limited, so this is not an area we can call safe for absolutely everyone. Plan around your group&#8217;s real comfort, especially if young children, senior citizens or anyone with limited mobility is travelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Facilities Near Atal Tunnel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not expect the tunnel itself to offer any visitor facilities; its systems are for road safety. Near the portals, small seasonal food stalls, basic toilets and limited parking may operate, but these come and go with the season and weather, so treat none of them as guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fuel should be sorted in Manali before you set off, as options beyond are scarce. Mobile signal is unreliable, so do not count on it inside or immediately around the tunnel. In difficulty, look for the emergency telephones inside the tunnel and reach police or the district control room for assistance. Vehicle repair support is minimal, which is another reason to check your vehicle before leaving town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Photography, Videography and Drones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photography and videography are banned inside the tunnel and within the signed zone near the South Portal, and this is enforced by CCTV with fines. You can take your photographs from safe, permitted areas outside that zone on either side, which is where the best portal and mountain shots are anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three firm points. The driver must not film or use a phone while driving. Visitors must not stop inside the tunnel to take photos. Drone use around strategic infrastructure like this can be restricted and requires verification and permission before you even consider it; do not assume it is allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everything else is ordinary good sense: keep tripods out of traffic, follow any instruction from police, and treat commercial filming as needing separate permission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nearby Attractions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tunnel pairs naturally with a handful of places, most of them on the Lahaul side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sissu, on the North Portal side, is the easiest and most rewarding combination, with its waterfall, lake and village a short drive on. Solang Valley, on the Manali side, sits on the way up and suits snow play and adventure activities in season. Rohtang Pass is a separate experience from the tunnel: it is the high pass above, needs a permit, and is seasonal, so treat it as an alternative outing rather than an interchangeable one. Deeper Lahaul viewpoints and villages open up if you have a full day and settled roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Distances and access shift with the season, so confirm current conditions before committing to a longer loop. For the full list of Manali sights, see the <a href=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/hi\/attractions-in-himachal-pradesh\/\">attractions hub<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Suggested Sightseeing Combination<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A comfortable, realistic plan for most travellers is a Manali to Sissu day, using the tunnel as the route. Leave Manali early, drive up past Solang to the South Portal, cross the tunnel, and spend the middle of the day around Sissu with its waterfall and lake. Have lunch on the Lahaul side, then return through the tunnel to Manali well before dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This works best from late spring to autumn, needs a full day of relaxed driving, and suits families, couples and first-time visitors. Plan meals and toilet stops around Sissu and Manali rather than the portals. Keep a fallback in mind: if the tunnel or the onward road is restricted, a Solang Valley day on the Manali side is the sensible alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For travellers heading deeper, the tunnel simply becomes the first leg of a longer Lahaul or Leh journey rather than a day trip. We do not recommend rushing several distant stops into one day, and we cannot promise every stop will be accessible on any given date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Add Atal Tunnel to a HimTrails Trip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For most itineraries, the tunnel is a transit experience woven into a <a href=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/hi\/manali-tour-packages\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"1336\">\u092e\u0928\u093e\u0932\u0940<\/a> or Lahaul plan rather than a dedicated excursion. It fits especially well for travellers who want to reach Sissu, sample Lahaul, or continue towards Leh, and for anyone curious about the engineering and the landscape change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather and road status shape everything here, so the more flexibly your plan is built, the better. When you enquire, it helps to share your travel dates, the number of travellers and ages of any children, your pickup location, your vehicle preference, how much sightseeing time you have, whether you are keen on snow, whether you want to include Lahaul, and any mobility or medical considerations. With that, we can shape a sensible plan and a realistic fallback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Responsible Travel and Road Etiquette<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tunnel and its approaches stay safe only when everyone cooperates. Follow police instructions without argument, and never stop inside the tunnel. Do not litter near the portals or in Lahaul, and carry your waste back with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep traffic and emergency access clear, do not block the road for photos, and never interfere with snow-clearing machinery. If there is roadside snow, avoid unsafe play near moving traffic. Respect the Lahaul communities you pass through, keep music and honking down, and use designated parking where it exists. And there is no need to make repeated drives back and forth through the tunnel; it only adds to congestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<!-- FAQ Accordion Styles -->\n<style>\n  .ht-faq-wrap {\n    font-family: 'Georgia', 'Times New Roman', serif;\n    max-width: 820px;\n    margin: 48px auto;\n    padding: 0 16px;\n    background: #ffffff;\n  }\n\n  .ht-faq-header {\n    text-align: center;\n    margin-bottom: 36px;\n  }\n\n  .ht-faq-header h2 {\n    font-size: clamp(22px, 4vw, 30px);\n    color: #1e2d1f;\n    font-weight: 700;\n    margin: 0 0 8px;\n    line-height: 1.25;\n    letter-spacing: -0.02em;\n  }\n\n  .ht-faq-item {\n    border-bottom: 1px solid #dce8dc;\n    background: #ffffff;\n    transition: background 0.2s;\n  }\n\n  .ht-faq-item:first-of-type {\n    border-top: 1px solid #dce8dc;\n  }\n\n  .ht-faq-item.ht-open {\n    background: #ffffff;\n  }\n\n  .ht-faq-btn {\n    width: 100%;\n    background: none;\n    border: none;\n    cursor: pointer;\n    padding: 20px 0;\n    display: flex;\n    align-items: center;\n    justify-content: space-between;\n    gap: 16px;\n    text-align: left;\n  }\n\n  .ht-faq-btn:focus-visible {\n    outline: 2px solid #4a7c59;\n    outline-offset: 2px;\n    border-radius: 3px;\n  }\n\n  .ht-faq-q-inner {\n    display: flex;\n    align-items: flex-start;\n    gap: 14px;\n    flex: 1;\n  }\n\n  .ht-faq-q-text {\n    font-size: 16px;\n    font-weight: 600;\n    color: #1e2d1f;\n    line-height: 1.45;\n    font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;\n    margin: 0;\n    padding: 0;\n  }\n\n  .ht-faq-item.ht-open .ht-faq-q-text {\n    color: #2e5e3a;\n  }\n\n  .ht-faq-icon {\n    width: 28px;\n    height: 28px;\n    border-radius: 50%;\n    border: 1.5px solid #b8d4b9;\n    display: flex;\n    align-items: center;\n    justify-content: center;\n    flex-shrink: 0;\n    transition: background 0.25s, border-color 0.25s;\n    color: #4a7c59;\n  }\n\n  .ht-faq-item.ht-open .ht-faq-icon {\n    background: #2e5e3a;\n    border-color: #2e5e3a;\n    color: #fff;\n  }\n\n  .ht-faq-icon svg {\n    width: 12px;\n    height: 12px;\n    transition: transform 0.3s cubic-bezier(0.34, 1.56, 0.64, 1);\n  }\n\n  .ht-faq-item.ht-open .ht-faq-icon svg {\n    transform: rotate(45deg);\n  }\n\n  .ht-faq-panel {\n    overflow: hidden;\n    max-height: 0;\n    transition: max-height 0.38s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1);\n  }\n\n  .ht-faq-item.ht-open .ht-faq-panel {\n    max-height: 1000px;\n  }\n\n  .ht-faq-answer {\n    padding: 0 0 24px 36px;\n    font-size: 15px;\n    line-height: 1.75;\n    color: #3d4f3e;\n    font-family: 'Georgia', serif;\n  }\n\n  .ht-faq-answer strong {\n    color: #2e5e3a;\n    font-weight: 600;\n  }\n\n  @media (max-width: 600px) {\n    .ht-faq-q-text { font-size: 14px; }\n    .ht-faq-answer { padding-left: 0; font-size: 14px; }\n  }\n<\/style>\n\n<!-- FAQ Accordion HTML -->\n<div class=\"ht-faq-wrap\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage\">\n\n  <div class=\"ht-faq-header\">\n    <h2>\u0905\u0915\u094d\u0938\u0930 \u092a\u0942\u091b\u0947 \u091c\u093e\u0928\u0947 \u0935\u093e\u0932\u0947 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0936\u094d\u0928<\/h2>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <!-- Q1 -->\n  <div class=\"ht-faq-item\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n    <button class=\"ht-faq-btn\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n      <span class=\"ht-faq-q-inner\">\n        <h3 class=\"ht-faq-q-text\" itemprop=\"name\">Where is Atal Tunnel?<\/h3>\n      <\/span>\n      <span class=\"ht-faq-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n        <svg viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\">\n          <line x1=\"6\" y1=\"1\" x2=\"6\" y2=\"11\"><\/line><line x1=\"1\" y1=\"6\" x2=\"11\" y2=\"6\"><\/line>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/span>\n    <\/button>\n    <div class=\"ht-faq-panel\" role=\"region\">\n      <div class=\"ht-faq-answer\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n        <span itemprop=\"text\">Atal Tunnel is in Himachal Pradesh, bored under the Rohtang Pass on the Leh-Manali Highway.
