You have picked the month the whole Spiti circuit waits for, but June is also the trickiest month to read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pass opens in June most years. The catch is that &#8220;open&#8221; can mean five different things, and the first week behaves nothing like the last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our years running the Spiti circuit, the travellers who struggle in June are almost always the ones who booked fixed dates around June 1 and assumed the road would behave. This guide tells you exactly what to expect, week by week, so you do not make that mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick Answer: Is Kunzum Pass Open in June 2026?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, June is usually one of the opening months for Kunzum Pass (4,551 m \/ 14,931 ft). But the first week stays unpredictable, and mid to late June is the safer window for most travellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the 2026 reality you need to know. In the second half of May 2026, The Tribune reported that the BRO reopened the Sumdo, Kaza, Gramphu highway via Kunzum Pass for light 4&#215;4 vehicles after more than six months of winter closure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the official Lahaul and Spiti district road status page still listed Keylong to Kaza as closed in early June 2026, even though news reports confirmed the 4&#215;4 reopening. That is a clear conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So treat the route as &#8220;open for capable 4&#215;4 vehicles, not yet a normal tourist road.&#8221; Check the status again on the same day you travel. And remember that Chandratal access can open later than the pass itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 <a href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/917717697177?text=Hi%20HimTrails,%20please%20help%20me%20plan%20my%20trip%20with%20best%20stays,%20route,%20and%20budget\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Confused?

The exact date changes every year because it depends on winter snowfall and how fast the BRO clears the snow from both the Manali and Kaza sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where most travellers get confused. &#8220;Open&#8221; is not one single thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes the pass is open only for light 4&#215;4 vehicles. Sometimes it is open for local movement and supply trucks but not comfortable for tourists. And sometimes it is properly settled and fine for regular cars with good clearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2026 we are in the first stage. The road reopened for 4&#215;4 vehicles in the second half of May, the official district page had not caught up by early June, and ground conditions were still rough. The Tribune report also noted that some stretches stayed slippery in the morning and evening because of melting snow, with restoration work continuing at weak points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What this means for you is simple. Do not trust one source. Cross-check the official Lahaul and Spiti page, recent traveller reports, and a local operator or camp owner before you leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want help reading the live picture instead of guessing, our team plans these routes every season, and we list current options on our <a href=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/spiti-tour-packages\/\">Spiti tour packages<\/a> 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\">Early June vs Mid June vs Late June: Which Is Better?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Beautiful-drive-through-Kunzum-Pass-the-gateway-between-Lahaul-and-Spiti-Valley-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Beautiful-drive-through-Kunzum-Pass-the-gateway-between-Lahaul-and-Spiti-Valley-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Beautiful-drive-through-Kunzum-Pass-the-gateway-between-Lahaul-and-Spiti-Valley-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Beautiful-drive-through-Kunzum-Pass-the-gateway-between-Lahaul-and-Spiti-Valley-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Beautiful-drive-through-Kunzum-Pass-the-gateway-between-Lahaul-and-Spiti-Valley-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Beautiful-drive-through-Kunzum-Pass-the-gateway-between-Lahaul-and-Spiti-Valley-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Beautiful-drive-through-Kunzum-Pass-the-gateway-between-Lahaul-and-Spiti-Valley-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Beautiful-drive-through-Kunzum-Pass-the-gateway-between-Lahaul-and-Spiti-Valley-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Beautiful-drive-through-Kunzum-Pass-the-gateway-between-Lahaul-and-Spiti-Valley-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>June is not one travel window in Spiti. A trip on June 1 and a trip on June 25 are almost different trips. Here is how the three blocks of the month actually feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First Week of June<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the most unpredictable week of the year for Kunzum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The road may have only just been cleared. Expect slush, loose gravel, snow walls along the shoulders, and water crossings that grow through the day as the sun melts more snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First-timers and anyone in a sedan should not build a plan that depends on this week. If you must travel early June, keep your dates flexible and have a Shimla-side backup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Second Week of June<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Things usually start settling now. More vehicles have run the route, the BRO has patched the worst spots, and conditions become a little more predictable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You still need a same-day road check. And Chandratal can stay uncertain. The diversion road and the camps may not be fully ready even when the pass is fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Late June<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For most families, couples, first-timers and Chandratal travellers, late June is the best window in the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By then the road has seen plenty of traffic and repair work, the water crossings are more manageable in the morning, and the camp setup near Chandratal is usually running. This is the late-June trip we recommend to people who want the views without the early-season gamble.<\/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\">What Is the Weather at Kunzum Pass in June?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-adventure-route-with-winding-roads-snow-peaks-and-raw-Himalayan-beauty-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17010\" srcset=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-adventure-route-with-winding-roads-snow-peaks-and-raw-Himalayan-beauty-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-adventure-route-with-winding-roads-snow-peaks-and-raw-Himalayan-beauty-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-adventure-route-with-winding-roads-snow-peaks-and-raw-Himalayan-beauty-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-adventure-route-with-winding-roads-snow-peaks-and-raw-Himalayan-beauty-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-adventure-route-with-winding-roads-snow-peaks-and-raw-Himalayan-beauty-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-adventure-route-with-winding-roads-snow-peaks-and-raw-Himalayan-beauty-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-adventure-route-with-winding-roads-snow-peaks-and-raw-Himalayan-beauty-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-adventure-route-with-winding-roads-snow-peaks-and-raw-Himalayan-beauty-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Kunzum Pass sits at about 4,551 m (14,931 ft), so even June is cold. This is not plains summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the day you can expect roughly 5\u00b0C to 15\u00b0C when the sun is out. It feels pleasant in direct sun and cold the moment you step into shade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nights are a different story. Temperatures can drop to near or below freezing, and the wind at the pass makes it feel sharper than the number suggests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sun is also brutal at this height. UV is strong, clouds roll in fast, and a calm warm afternoon can turn into a cold, windy one in twenty minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pack for both extremes in the same day. You want a thermal base layer, a fleece or down jacket, a windproof outer layer, gloves, a warm cap, sunglasses and high-SPF sunscreen.<\/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\">Will There Be Snow at Kunzum Pass in June?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-offers-breathtaking-high-altitude-views-snow-capped-peaks-and-an-unforgettable-journey-through-Spiti-Valley-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-offers-breathtaking-high-altitude-views-snow-capped-peaks-and-an-unforgettable-journey-through-Spiti-Valley-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-offers-breathtaking-high-altitude-views-snow-capped-peaks-and-an-unforgettable-journey-through-Spiti-Valley-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-offers-breathtaking-high-altitude-views-snow-capped-peaks-and-an-unforgettable-journey-through-Spiti-Valley-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-offers-breathtaking-high-altitude-views-snow-capped-peaks-and-an-unforgettable-journey-through-Spiti-Valley-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-offers-breathtaking-high-altitude-views-snow-capped-peaks-and-an-unforgettable-journey-through-Spiti-Valley-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-offers-breathtaking-high-altitude-views-snow-capped-peaks-and-an-unforgettable-journey-through-Spiti-Valley-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-offers-breathtaking-high-altitude-views-snow-capped-peaks-and-an-unforgettable-journey-through-Spiti-Valley-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-offers-breathtaking-high-altitude-views-snow-capped-peaks-and-an-unforgettable-journey-through-Spiti-Valley-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, snow is very possible, especially in the first half of June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The road may be cleared, but snow stays on the shoulders, in patches near the pass top, and across the surrounding peaks. That is exactly the dramatic snow-wall scenery that draws early-season travellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By late June, snow on the actual road reduces a lot. You will still see snow on the peaks and in shaded gullies, so you get the views without the road being buried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If snow is the main thing you want, early to mid June is your window.

This matches the 2026 reopening, where the district administration allowed only light 4&#215;4 vehicles to start with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are starting your trip from this side, our <a href=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/manali-tour-packages\/\">Manali tour packages<\/a> cover the Atal Tunnel and Lahaul stretch with drivers who run it every season.<\/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\">Which Route Is Smarter in June: Manali Side or Shimla, Kinnaur Side?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Are-Kinnaur-Roads-Open-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Are Kinnaur Roads Open\" class=\"wp-image-14962\" srcset=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Are-Kinnaur-Roads-Open-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Are-Kinnaur-Roads-Open-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Are-Kinnaur-Roads-Open-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Are-Kinnaur-Roads-Open-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Are-Kinnaur-Roads-Open-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Are-Kinnaur-Roads-Open-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Are-Kinnaur-Roads-Open-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Are-Kinnaur-Roads-Open.jpg 1680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For most June travellers, we recommend entering Spiti from the Shimla, Kinnaur, Kaza side and exiting via Kunzum and Manali later in the trip, if road status allows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason is acclimatisation. The Shimla side climbs gradually over several days through Narkanda, Kalpa, Nako and Tabo, so your body adjusts slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Manali side throws you up fast. You gain a lot of altitude quickly through the Atal Tunnel and over Kunzum, which raises the risk of altitude sickness if you have not adjusted first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entering from Shimla also reduces your dependence on a single high pass. If Kunzum acts up, you are not stuck, because you came in from the safer side. This is the route our team plans for most first-timers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can start that side with our <a href=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/shimla-tour-packages\/\">Shimla tour packages<\/a> and continue through our <a href=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/kinnaur-tour-packages\/\">Kinnaur tour packages<\/a> for the gradual climb into Spiti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 <a href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/917717697177?text=Hi,%20I%20need%20help%20choosing%20best%20stays,%20route,%20and%20planning%20my%20trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pick the right stay &amp; route \u2014 we\u2019ll help.<\/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\">Can You Visit Chandratal Through Kunzum Pass in June?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chandratal-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Chandratal Lake\" class=\"wp-image-14630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chandratal-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chandratal-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chandratal-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chandratal-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chandratal-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chandratal-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chandratal-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chandratal.jpg 1680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Kunzum opening and Chandratal readiness are linked, but they are not the same thing. This is the single biggest mistake we see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just because the pass is open does not mean the Chandratal diversion road and the camps are ready. The diversion is a separate stretch that needs its own clearance, and it is often the last bit to become passable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kunzum Pass to Chandratal is around 21 km, but the rough diversion can take far longer than that distance looks on a map. Water crossings, broken patches and loose gravel slow you right down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Chandratal is a must for you, mid to late June is far more realistic than early June. In early June you can easily reach a half-frozen lake with no camps, no food stalls and no infrastructure, which is a real let-down after all that driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We break down the month-by-month lake picture in our <a href=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/spiti-valley-in-july\/\">Spiti Valley in July guide<\/a>, and if you want the lake built into a proper route, look at our <a href=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/tour-package\/grand-kinnaur-spiti-circuit-tour-package-9-nights-10-days\/\">Grand Kinnaur Spiti Circuit tour package<\/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\">Do You Need Permits for Kunzum Pass or Chandratal in June?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-road-trip-view-with-rugged-landscapes-blue-skies-and-mountain-adventure-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-road-trip-view-with-rugged-landscapes-blue-skies-and-mountain-adventure-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-road-trip-view-with-rugged-landscapes-blue-skies-and-mountain-adventure-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-road-trip-view-with-rugged-landscapes-blue-skies-and-mountain-adventure-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-road-trip-view-with-rugged-landscapes-blue-skies-and-mountain-adventure-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-road-trip-view-with-rugged-landscapes-blue-skies-and-mountain-adventure-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-road-trip-view-with-rugged-landscapes-blue-skies-and-mountain-adventure-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-road-trip-view-with-rugged-landscapes-blue-skies-and-mountain-adventure-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kunzum-Pass-road-trip-view-with-rugged-landscapes-blue-skies-and-mountain-adventure-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For Indian travellers, the good news is simple. You generally do not need a special permit just to cross Kunzum Pass or to enter Spiti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The one thing to know is the e-Aagman portal. It says an e-permit per vehicle is required for the Atal Tunnel, Rohtang, Koksar, Chandertal circuit, so if your route uses that side, sort the e-permit before you go and carry a printout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foreign travellers should check separately. Protected-area permit rules can apply on certain sections, especially on the Kinnaur Spiti route, and these rules need confirming before travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We do not quote permit fees here because they change. Confirm the latest rules with the issuing portal or your operator close to your travel 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 Far Is Kunzum Pass from Manali, Kaza and Chandratal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Does-It-Snow-in-Manali-in-May-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Does It Snow in Manali in June\" class=\"wp-image-14565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Does-It-Snow-in-Manali-in-May-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Does-It-Snow-in-Manali-in-May-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Does-It-Snow-in-Manali-in-May-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Does-It-Snow-in-Manali-in-May-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Does-It-Snow-in-Manali-in-May-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Does-It-Snow-in-Manali-in-May-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Does-It-Snow-in-Manali-in-May-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Does-It-Snow-in-Manali-in-May.jpg 1680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the distances that actually matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kunzum Pass is about 122 km from Manali.

Manali to Kaza via Kunzum can take anywhere from 8 to 12 hours depending on the day&#8217;s road and weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not plan around Google Maps timing on this route.

The roads are more settled and the chance of getting stuck behind fresh snow or a washout is lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bigger concern is altitude. At 14,931 ft, Acute Mountain Sickness can hit anyone, and being fit does not cancel the need to acclimatise. Headache, nausea, breathlessness and dizziness are the usual signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not rush from the plains straight to Kunzum. Spend a night or two at a moderate altitude first, on the Shimla side or in Manali, before going high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the pass itself, keep your stop short. Around 20 to 30 minutes at the top is plenty. Lingering at this height tends to make people feel worse, not better. Many drivers and travellers stop at the Kunzum Mata temple at the pass for a quick blessing before moving on, which is a nice natural reason to keep it brief.<\/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\">Can a Sedan, Bike or SUV Cross Kunzum Pass in June?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/4x4-Expedition-in-Himachal-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"4x4 Expedition in Himachal Pradesh\" class=\"wp-image-5862\" srcset=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/4x4-Expedition-in-Himachal-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/4x4-Expedition-in-Himachal-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/4x4-Expedition-in-Himachal-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/4x4-Expedition-in-Himachal-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/4x4-Expedition-in-Himachal-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/4x4-Expedition-in-Himachal-800x450.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This depends entirely on your vehicle and the week you travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A sedan is not recommended in early June, especially from the Manali side. The Gramphu to Batal stretch, with its loose stones, slush and water crossings, will damage a low car and leave you stressed the whole way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A high-clearance SUV is a much better choice. It handles the broken sections and the crossings far more comfortably, and it gives you a safety margin if conditions change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A light 4&#215;4 is the safest option for the early season, which is exactly what the 2026 reopening allowed first.

Water crossings, loose gravel, slush and the fast altitude gain make this a demanding ride, not a casual one. If you ride, go with a group and start early.

None. Plan as if you are on your own up there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For food, your stops are at Batal and Losar. The famous old dhaba at Batal is the last proper hot meal before Kunzum from the Manali side, and a plate of hot dal-rice or Maggi there hits differently at that altitude. Do not skip it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For fuel, here is a local money tip. There is no fuel pump between Manali and Kaza, so people end up buying black-market petrol at Batal at inflated rates. Fill your tank to the top in Manali or Kaza and you avoid paying double. Keylong is also a route-side option depending on your direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For stays, your realistic bases are around Losar, Batal, Kaza, Sissu and Keylong. Sissu and Keylong work well as comfortable halts on the Manali side, while Losar and Batal are basic stops closer to the pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carry enough cash for the whole trip, plus snacks, water and offline maps. ATMs are scarce once you leave Manali or Shimla, so withdraw early.<\/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 June Itineraries for Kunzum Pass<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Trip-Itinerary-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Trip Itinerary\" class=\"wp-image-14548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Trip-Itinerary-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Trip-Itinerary-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Trip-Itinerary-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Trip-Itinerary-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Trip-Itinerary-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Trip-Itinerary-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Trip-Itinerary-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/himtrails.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Trip-Itinerary.jpg 1680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are three shapes that actually work in June, depending on your time and your appetite for risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8 to 9 Day Shimla Entry and Manali Exit Spiti Circuit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the best plan for most travellers. You enter from Shimla, move through Kinnaur, stop at Kalpa or Nako, continue to Tabo and Kaza, explore the local Spiti villages, then cross Kunzum, add Chandratal if it is open, and exit towards Manali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The slow climb gives you proper acclimatisation and a buffer day or two for the unpredictable bits. It is the version we book most often in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6 to 7 Day Late June Manali Kaza Plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Only do this in late June, with confirmed road status and the right vehicle.

The cold and the altitude punish people who pack for plains weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carry a thermal base layer, a fleece or down jacket, and a windproof shell. Add gloves, a warm cap, sunglasses and high-SPF sunscreen, because the wind and UV at the pass are no joke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bring water, dry snacks, basic medicines for headache and nausea, and enough cash in small notes. Pack offline maps and a power bank, since there is no charging or signal up there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep your ID and vehicle documents handy, and a printed e-permit too if you are applying for the Atal Tunnel Chandertal circuit.

Keep your dates flexible in the first half of the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not take a sedan up the Manali side in early season. It is the fastest way to damage your car and your mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not skip buffer days, and do not trust Google Maps timing. Both assumptions break the moment a water crossing slows you down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not assume the Chandratal camps are open just because the pass is open. They are separate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid crossing late in the afternoon, when water crossings swell from melt, and never cross at night. Do not ignore early signs of AMS, and always check the same-day road status before you leave.<\/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\">Final Verdict: Should You Visit Kunzum Pass in June?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It depends on the week and your setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first week of June is only for experienced, flexible travellers with 4&#215;4 support and a backup plan. Mid June can work well with caution and buffer days. Late June is the best June window for most tourists, with settled roads and a real shot at Chandratal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What we tell every June traveller is the same thing. Plan your route around your dates, your vehicle and your comfort level, not around a date someone posted online.
