Pandava Bhima. Roof of the temple consists of massive deodar planks, which has largely survived the

with beheading of an ox.

Manali has three important Tibetan Monasteries: Himalayan Nyinmapa Temple, the traditional Gelukpa
Gompa and the other one at Aleo on the left bank of Beas river. The first two monasteries are easily

Rohtang Pass: Open for tourists
Note : Closed for tourists on Tuesdays
Vehicles with Non Himachal Pradesh registration are not allowed beyond Marhi unless you have
obtainedspecial permission from SDM office at Manali
Manali - Rohtang Pass RouteManali to Rohtang Route (distance: 51 KMs) :
Manali - Nehru kund - Kothi- Gulaba- Marhi - Raninalla- Rohtang Pass
Rohtang Pass Trip - Tips from the expert
Rohtang Pass attracts around 25 Lakh visitors a year but is devoid of any basicamenities- no
toilets, clean eateries etc.
You can hire snow clothesfrom one of the many shops at Manali itself. Cost per snow suite is
around Rs. 200 - Rs.325/- per person.
The snow dress will include full body suite, boots, gloves and snow boots.
There are literally hundreds of shops and shacks offering snow dress on hire. It is better to hire
from a shop rather than from a shack.
Please check boots and gloves thoroughly as many are torn. Wearing torn shoe or gloves is
dangerous.
It is better to go to Rohtang Pass by taxi hired from Him Anchal taxi union at Manali (cost
Rs.1,700 fixed) than by Rohtang Pass HPTDC tourist bus . HPTDC Bus stops way away from action
zone (snow activity) and you need to hire a pony to reach the action zone. This makes trip by
HPTDC bus more expensive than travelling in a taxi. Please start early so that you are not stuck in traffic and your taxi can drop you near the action
zone. Most drivers are unfortunately not tourist friendly and will try to fleece you. You need to
be on gaurd and be firm on what you will pay for snow dress, snowmobile etc.
While at Rohtang Pass
Bargain for every activity - skiing, snow mobile, tyre drop etc at Rohtang
Skiing at Rohtang is rudimentary and you do not need a guide. Guide will cost you Rs.1,500 and
do nothing more than hold you while you pretend to ski.
Snow mobiles do not follow any particular track, so please do avoid crowded part of Rohtang
pass unless you want to be mowed down by a speeding snow mobile
For all the effort of reaching Rohtang Pass, you will stay for only three to four hours. The crowds
makes the experience less interesting that it ought to be.
Beyond Rohtang Pass If you have your own vehicle, ask the driver to take you to Koksar, an hours drive beyond Rohtang
Pass. You can have your lunch at Dabhas in Koksar. If you are visiting Manali during July - October, the
chances are that snow would have melted away. However, it is the best time for scenic drives beyond
Rohtang Pass.

The best drive would be the iconic Manali - Leh ride on a motor bike. At the minimum, drive onwards
from Rohtang Pass to Gondhla to visit an ancient castle that looks straight out of a fairy tale.
Once the tunnel under construction is open to tourists by end 2015, Rohtang Pass will be bypassed
completly
Snow Point
Snow Point is not any particular location, rather, it is just a stretch of snow on the way to Rohtang La
identified by local vendors to set up their stalls. In peak winters, Snow point is at a location very close toManali.

Rohtang Pass :Vendor Menace
Local vendors will stop your vehicle to offer heavy woollen dresses, pony rides and what-have-you.
Learn to ignore them. When you need to buy or hire anything, be prepared to negotiate.
Vendors will start with exhorbitant rate, Government fixed rate (see photo above) should be your
starting point for negotiation. Do not pay more than what is shown in the table as actual charges.
Be careful of what you hire as most vendors pass on sub standard materials. A broken shoe can hurt you
badly in snow.
Do not buy saffron or anything else at Rohtang Pass - they are all sub standard and cheap.
Note : All Non Himachal Pradesh bearing vehicles are banned on the Manali-Rohtang highway. They
need special permission to travel to Rohtang Pass.
