CUT OFF by snow for eight months of the year, even from Kullu, the nearest district, the people of Himachal Pradesh’s Lahaul-Spiti district have pinned their hopes on the Rohtang tunnel to end their isolation. Currently, Rohtang Pass is the only way to reach Keylong, the district headquarters of the two units — Lahaul and Spiti — and it is shut down for most of the year. When the tunnel will open, there is expectation that tourists may bypass Rohtang altogether, what with all the NGT-imposed restrictions that have been operational since 2015, and head to the yet-unspoilt territory of Lahaul-Spiti.
