Pass, Manali (May
2008) Photofeature |
| I
stongly recommend a visit to the Switzerland of India.Discover Natural
ice.Not the one in your refrigerator freezer ! You have to hire jackets
and attire that make you look like a scientist in Antarctica.Some
snaps from the Rogtang pass and Manali tour May 2008. ROHTANG PASS (3979 m): Rohtang pass is 51kms. from Manali on highway to Keylong/Leh. It offers a panorama and spectacular mountain view. The pass is open from June to October each year although trekkers can cross it earlier. It is a gateway to Lahaul Spiti, Pangi and Leh valley just as Zojila pass is a gatway to Ladakh. |
