Reaching the majestic Rohtang La requires a multi-modal approach as it's not directly accessible by air or train. Here's how to get there from anywhere:
The nearest airport is Kullu Manali Airport (KUU) in Bhuntar, located about 80 kilometers from Manali, the base town for accessing Rohtang La.
Major cities in India have connecting flights to Kullu Manali Airport.
The nearest major railway station is Joginder Nagar Railway Station (JNR) in Himachal Pradesh, about 120 kilometers from Manali.
Several trains connect major Indian cities to Joginder Nagar Railway Station.
From Kullu Manali Airport or Joginder Nagar Railway Station, you can hire a taxi or cab to Manali. This is a scenic journey offering stunning Himalayan views.
Manali serves as the base for reaching Rohtang La. Here are your options:
Shared Taxis or Jeeps: These are readily available in Manali and offer a budget-friendly way to reach Rohtang La. However, be prepared for potential overcrowding.
Private Taxi: Hiring a private taxi offers more flexibility and comfort, especially if you're traveling with a group.
Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (HPTDC) Buses: These government-run buses offer a reliable option to reach Rohtang La. However, seats get booked quickly, so plan in advance, especially during peak season.

Rohtang La can be safe for families with proper planning. Four Wheel Drive India prioritizes your safety. We recommend visiting during the summer months (May-June) for pleasant weather and avoiding the challenging winter conditions. We can tailor the itinerary for younger children, with shorter walks and ample rest stops. Always keep an eye on them and prioritize their well-being throughout the tour.
Altitude sickness is a possibility at Rohtang La's height. Four Wheel Drive India recommends acclimatization in Manali before attempting the pass. We advise staying hydrated, avoiding strenuous activity on arrival, and listening to your body. We can also include medications for altitude sickness in our first-aid kit as a precaution.
Rohtang La's weather can be unpredictable. Four Wheel Drive India suggests layering clothes for easy temperature adjustments. Pack waterproof jackets, sturdy shoes, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Woolen gloves and caps are essential, especially during the cooler months. Consider renting snow boots if planning winter activities. We can advise on the specific gear based on your planned activities and season of visit.
Manali offers a delicious blend of Himachali cuisine. Four Wheel Drive India recommends Siddu (steamed bread with various fillings), Kullu Trout (a local fish delicacy), and Apricot Khoya (a sweet dish made with dried apricots). We can suggest restaurants serving authentic cuisine and cater to dietary restrictions if needed.
