Rohtang Pass is a high mountain pass on the eastern Pir Panjal Range of the Himalayas around 51 km from Manali in Himachal Pradesh, India. It connects the Kullu Valley with the Lahaul and Spiti Valleys of Himachal Pradesh. The pass is situated at a massive height of 3,978 meters above sea level and serves as a natural divide between the humid Kullu Valley, which has a predominant Hindu culture, and the arid, high-altitude Lahaul and Spiti Valleys, which predominantly follow Buddhism. Rohtang Pass is significant for India's military, serving as one of the routes to reach soldiers in the remote areas of Ladhakh. The pass also offers stunning vistas of glaciers, peaks, Lahaul Valley, and the Chandra River. The name 'Rohtang' literally means 'ground of corpses' due to the number of people who lost their lives trying to cross it in the past. Adventure enthusiasts visit this place to enjoy activities like snow scootering, skiing, and mountain biking. Rohtang Pass also features on various trekking routes, attracting trekkers and adventure seekers from all around the world.
