Most travellers come here for the high-altitude scenery, the mountain drive and the chance of snow near the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pass is seasonal. It usually opens in the warmer months once the Border Roads Organisation clears the snow, and it closes again for winter. Access can also change at short notice because of weather, landslides or road work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The single most important thing to sort out before you go is the vehicle permit. Rohtang Pass has a controlled entry system with a daily quota, so a little planning saves a lot of disappointment. This guide walks you through the permit, the access status, how to reach the pass, and how to plan a sensible day from Manali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick Answer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rohtang Pass is a high mountain pass at about 3,978 metres, roughly 51 km from <a href=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/destination\/manali\/\" data-type=\"destination\" data-id=\"12890\">Manali<\/a> on the road towards Lahaul. Travellers visit for mountain views, the drive and seasonal snow. Access is seasonal and weather-dependent, and vehicles going up for sightseeing need an online permit. Plan for a half to full day, and always check current status first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<section

Getting the <strong>Rohtang Pass permit<\/strong> right is the difference between a smooth morning and being turned back at the checkpost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Direct answer:<\/strong> Yes. If your vehicle is going up the Rohtang road from the Manali side for sightseeing, it needs an online permit issued by the Kullu District Administration, plus a congestion charge. The permit is tied to your vehicle, not to you as an individual, and it is issued for a single day, to and fro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Permit quick facts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Item<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Detail (verified 21 July 2026)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Issuing authority<\/td><td>District Administration, Kullu (HP)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Official portal<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/rohtangpermits.hp.gov.in\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/rohtangpermits.hp.gov.in\/<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Who needs it<\/td><td>Vehicles driving up the Rohtang road for tourism<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tourism permit fee (car\/jeep\/MUV)<\/td><td>Rs 500 per vehicle<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Congestion charge (car\/jeep\/MUV)<\/td><td>Rs 50 per vehicle, for crossing Gulaba Bridge<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Daily quota (tourism)<\/td><td>800 petrol + 400 diesel vehicles<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Booking window<\/td><td>Up to 2 days ahead of the travel date<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Vehicle age limit<\/td><td>Not more than 10 years old<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Printout<\/td><td>Compulsory to carry<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Validity<\/td><td>One day only, to and fro<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which permit category applies?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official portal lists distinct categories. Choose the correct one, because the wrong category can cause problems at the barrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rohtang Pass (tourism permit)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The standard permit for sightseeing at Rohtang. This is the one most taxis and tour vehicles use. Daily quota of 800 petrol and 400 diesel vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Special Rohtang Pass permit<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For private (non-commercial) vehicles going up for sightseeing. This is issued only <strong>once per vehicle for the entire season<\/strong>, with a smaller daily quota of 60 petrol and 40 diesel vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;Beyond Rohtang&#8221; travel<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For travellers actually crossing the pass towards Lahaul, Spiti, Keylong or Leh, rather than sightseeing at the top. This is treated differently from tourism sightseeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The portal also lists a separate Hamta Pass permit, which is a different route and not for Rohtang sightseeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who needs a permit, and who may be exempt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sightseeing vehicles from Manali:<\/strong> need the tourism or special permit plus congestion charge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vehicles only using the Atal Tunnel<\/strong> to reach Sissu, Keylong or beyond, without going over the Rohtang road, generally do <strong>not<\/strong> need the Rohtang tourism permit. The Rohtang permit is specifically for the Rohtang road.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vehicles coming towards Manali<\/strong> from the Lahaul side are treated differently from tourism vehicles going up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pedestrians are not the unit of control here; the permit is issued against a vehicle. If you arrive by a permitted taxi, you travel under that vehicle&#8217;s permit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Official website<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apply only through the official portal:<a href=\"https:\/\/rohtangpermits.hp.gov.in\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> <strong>https:\/\/rohtangpermits.hp.gov.in\/<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few practical points:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The old address, rohtangpermits.nic.in, now redirects visitors to the new hp.gov.in domain. Many older guides still show the old link, so check the URL before you pay.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are official citizen mobile apps for Android and iOS, linked from the portal, which let you check availability, validate a permit and reprint it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be cautious of unofficial websites or agents that claim to &#8220;arrange&#8221; permits. Use the government portal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Booking window and quota<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Permits can be applied for up to <strong>2 days ahead<\/strong> of the travel date.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The tourism quota is released in <strong>two daily windows<\/strong>, at 10:00 and 16:00, splitting the petrol and diesel allocation across the two slots.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peak-season dates can fill quickly, so book as soon as your slot opens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Documents and details required<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on the official portal, keep the following ready:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A valid government ID proof.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A valid Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vehicle registration details, including the registration date (the vehicle must not be more than 10 years old).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vehicle number and fuel type (petrol or diesel).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Traveller and contact details.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <strong>printout of the permit is compulsory<\/strong> at the checkpost.

Carry the printout and your original documents. The vehicle at the barrier must match the vehicle on the permit. If details do not match, the vehicle can be turned back. A valid permit does not override a road closure; if authorities shut the road that morning for weather or safety, the permit does not force passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Private car, taxi and motorcycle differences<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Local sightseeing taxi:<\/strong> the operator usually handles the tourism permit. Confirm that the fare includes the permit and congestion charge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Private car:<\/strong> you apply for the special permit yourself, and it is issued only once per vehicle per season, with a smaller quota. Plan ahead.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Motorcycle:<\/strong> two-wheelers travelling up the Rohtang road for tourism are also subject to the controlled-entry system and should apply through the official portal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Commercial vehicle:<\/strong> uses the tourism\/commercial category with the standard quota.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not assume every taxi automatically holds a valid permit for your date. Ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cancellation, refund and rescheduling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The portal provides a facility to submit a refund request, which can be raised after a waiting period from the transaction date. Refund and rescheduling rules are set by the district administration and can change.

In simple terms, it is the point where you climb out of the forested Kullu Valley and cross over into a drier, more rugged landscape on the far side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For travellers, it is a day excursion from Manali rather than a place to stay. People drive up for the views, the mountain-road experience and the snow that often lingers near the top early in the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It became a major sightseeing destination because it offered accessible high-altitude scenery close to a popular hill town. Since the Atal Tunnel opened, the tunnel now carries most through-traffic to Lahaul, which means visiting Rohtang Pass today is mostly a scenic choice rather than the only way across.<\/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 Significance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rohtang Pass has long been a traditional crossing between the Kullu Valley and the Lahaul region. For centuries it was a seasonal route for local movement and trade over the mountains, open only in the warmer months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its significance is tied to that role as a gateway. Before modern road tunnels, crossing Rohtang was the practical way to reach Lahaul from the Manali side, which shaped travel and connection between the two areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recent decades it grew into one of the most visited mountain attractions near Manali. Improved road connectivity, and later the Atal Tunnel beneath the range, changed how people use the route, shifting Rohtang from a necessary crossing towards a scenic destination.<\/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\">Landscape and Natural Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The setting is classic high-Himalaya: bare upper slopes, wide mountain views and a road that climbs steadily through changing terrain. As you gain height, the green cover of the valley thins out and gives way to open, rocky ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Snow is a defining feature early in the season and can linger near the top after the road opens. Weather shifts fast at this altitude, and cloud, fog and cold wind can arrive with little warning even on a bright day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lower down, the drive passes forested slopes and mountain streams before the landscape opens up higher. The contrast between the greener Kullu side and the starker Lahaul side is part of what draws people up.<\/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 Visit Rohtang Pass?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main draw is high-altitude scenery that feels a world away from Manali town, reached on a memorable mountain drive. For many visitors it is their first proper experience of being high in the Himalayas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Early in the season there is a good chance of snow near the top, though this is never guaranteed. Later in summer, most of it has usually melted, leaving open mountain views instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also works as a manageable excursion from Manali, and it can be combined with a stop or two on the way. For families and first-time mountain visitors, it is a straightforward way to see dramatic terrain in a single outing.<\/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\">Things to See and Do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Scenic viewpoints:<\/strong> the top and several roadside points offer wide mountain views. Stop only in designated areas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Snow near the top:<\/strong> in early season there may be snow to see and, at some points, walk on. Wear proper footwear.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Photography:<\/strong> the drive and the summit are the highlights.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Snow activities:<\/strong> seasonal snow play is sometimes offered at snow points along the route. Availability, pricing and location vary by season and by official permission, and some snow activities happen at other snow points rather than at the pass itself. Confirm on the day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not assume the snow activities marketed for Solang Valley are available at Rohtang Pass; they are separate locations.<\/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\">Rohtang Pass Opening and Closing Season<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The typical pattern is a summer-to-autumn opening and a winter closure, but exact dates move every year. There is no fixed calendar date you can rely on in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Rohtang Pass opening date<\/strong> depends mainly on snow clearance by the Border Roads Organisation and on weather. A heavy-snow winter pushes the opening later; a mild one can bring it forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even after opening, access can be restricted or closed again temporarily for weather, landslides or road work, and the point up to which vehicles are allowed can change within the season. The Kullu administration and road authorities decide day-to-day access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To check current status, use the official permit portal (if permits are being issued for your date, the road is likely open to some point) and confirm locally before you commit to a taxi advance.<\/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\">Timings, Entry Fee and Other Charges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no personal entry ticket for Rohtang Pass in the way a monument charges admission. What applies instead is a <strong>vehicle<\/strong> system: the tourism permit fee and the congestion charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Permit fee: Rs 500 for a car, jeep or MUV.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Congestion charge: Rs 50 for a car, jeep or MUV crossing Gulaba Bridge; Rs 100 for buses and heavy vehicles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parking or stopping: use designated areas; any local parking charge is separate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taxi cost and any snow-activity cost are commercial charges, not government fees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The road is not open around the clock, and access can be time-controlled, so plan an early start and do not count on late-afternoon movement up the pass. Average visit time from Manali is roughly a half to full day.<\/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 Rohtang Pass<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>best time to visit Rohtang Pass<\/strong> for general access is broadly the open season from around May to October, subject to that year&#8217;s conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>For snow:<\/strong> early season (soon after opening) gives the best chance, though snow is never guaranteed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>For clearer, milder conditions:<\/strong> later summer and early autumn, once the road is well established.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Time of day:<\/strong> leave Manali early. An early start beats both traffic and the afternoon weather that often builds up top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Weekday vs weekend:<\/strong> weekdays are usually less crowded, and permits are easier in peak season.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Watch for:<\/strong> fog, rain, wind, ice and reduced visibility, which can appear quickly at altitude.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a full Manali seasonal breakdown, see the Manali destination guide rather than this page.<\/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 Rohtang Pass from Manali<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Rohtang Pass distance from Manali<\/strong> is around 51 km, measured from Manali town up the Manali\u2013Leh road towards Lahaul. Typical driving time is roughly 2 to 3 hours one way, depending on traffic, road work and weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Taxi:<\/strong> a local sightseeing taxi is the most common choice; the operator usually handles the permit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Private vehicle:<\/strong> you arrange the special permit yourself, with its once-per-season limit and smaller quota.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Motorcycle:<\/strong> subject to the same controlled-entry system; apply through the portal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tour vehicle:<\/strong> part of a planned itinerary with transport arranged.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The permit checkpost is near <strong>Gulaba<\/strong>, roughly partway up. Expect traffic at peak times, use designated stopping points, and plan your return so you are not caught by late-day restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This page does not cover reaching Manali from Delhi or Chandigarh; see the Manali destination guide for that.<\/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\">Private Car or Taxi: Which Is Better?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Factor<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Local taxi<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Private car<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Permit responsibility<\/td><td>Usually handled by operator<\/td><td>You apply for the special permit yourself<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Permit availability<\/td><td>Larger tourism quota<\/td><td>Smaller quota, once per season<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Driving difficulty<\/td><td>Local driver, used to the road<\/td><td>You drive a demanding mountain road<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Parking<\/td><td>Driver manages<\/td><td>You manage<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cost<\/td><td>Fare plus charges<\/td><td>Permit and fuel, but your own vehicle<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Flexibility<\/td><td>Depends on driver<\/td><td>More flexible timing<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Families \/ seniors<\/td><td>Often easier<\/td><td>Fine if you are a confident mountain driver<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Peak season<\/td><td>Simpler for permits<\/td><td>Plan well ahead<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neither is universally better. A confident mountain driver may prefer a private car; most first-time or family visitors find a local taxi simpler. Do not assume a taxi quote includes every official charge unless the operator says so.<\/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\">Rohtang Pass Versus Atal Tunnel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are two different experiences, and travellers often confuse them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Point<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Rohtang Pass<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Atal Tunnel<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>What it is<\/td><td>High mountain pass, sightseeing road<\/td><td>Road tunnel under the range<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Purpose<\/td><td>Scenery and snow near Manali<\/td><td>Year-round route towards Lahaul<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Seasonal access<\/td><td>Seasonal, weather-dependent<\/td><td>Open through the year<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Permit<\/td><td>Rohtang tourism\/special permit needed for sightseeing<\/td><td>Tunnel-only travel generally does not need the Rohtang permit<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Experience<\/td><td>Climbing to a high pass<\/td><td>Passing quickly through to the other side<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reaching the Atal Tunnel, or using it to get to Sissu or Keylong, does not by itself require a Rohtang sightseeing permit. A Rohtang tourism permit is for the Rohtang road, not a licence to travel beyond the pass. They can sometimes be combined in a day depending on that day&#8217;s road controls, but do not treat one as a replacement for the other.<\/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\">Accessibility and Traveller Suitability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rohtang Pass involves altitude, cold and uneven ground, so suitability varies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Families and children:<\/strong> possible with care.

Whether it needs a half or full day depends on traffic, permit timing and how long you linger at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It suits travellers who want high-altitude scenery and a chance of snow, and it pairs naturally with a Solang Valley or Atal Tunnel plan when conditions allow. Because access and permits depend on quota and weather, some flexibility in your itinerary helps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HimTrails can help you plan a sensible travel date, arrange transport, time your departure, and line up alternatives such as Solang Valley or the Atal Tunnel if Rohtang is restricted. When you enquire, it helps to share your dates, group size, any children&#8217;s ages, your pickup location, whether you want a taxi or private car, your available sightseeing time, and any health or mobility needs.<\/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 Visiting Guidance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Carry your waste back with you; do not leave plastic in the snow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not block traffic or the road for photographs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use designated stopping areas only.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Respect barriers and restricted zones.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid damaging fragile alpine ground.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow police and road-authority instructions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Respect local workers and residents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid unnecessary vehicle idling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not disturb animals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\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>Frequently Asked Questions<\/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\">Is Rohtang Pass open now?<\/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\">Rohtang Pass is seasonal and access changes quickly.
