When Will Rohtang Pass Open in 2024?
The opening of Rohtang Pass entirely depends on the weather, and how fast BRO can clear the snow after the winter season has passed.
Historically though, it is always the month of April when Rohtang Pass is declared open for the tourist community. Sometimes it can open sooner as well if the snow isn’t much, but mid-April is a safer time to assume. There have been times when the pass was not open well into the month of May as well.
Is Rohtang Pass open on Tuesday?
No, Rohtang Pass remains closed for all kinds of vehicular movement on Tuesdays.
Is Rohtang Pass Open Now?
No, Rohtang Pass is closed right now.
Is Rohtang Pass Safe?
Yes, Rohtang Pass is very safe and is visited by thousands of families each year. But that can only be if you too act like a responsible tourist. The road from Manali to Rohtang can be a little tricky in places so you will have to drive carefully. Do not take any unnecessary, drive slow, do not put yourself in harm’s way and you will be OK.
If you feel uneasy because of altitude sickness, you must cut your trip short and drive back down to Manali immediately. If the symptoms persist after you are back, consult a doctor and take plenty of rest.
Is Rohtang Pass Safe for Infants?
This one is a tricky question. There are two factors that will have to be considered. The first one is of the cold weather and the second is of acute mountain sickness. You will not be the only family visiting Rohtang with kids but you must practice some caution.
Keep your kid well covered to protect against the cold wind. If possible, do not bring the baby out of the car. Keep them inside, well-covered and protected as you step out to enjoy the vistas.
In terms of acute mountain sickness, you should know that the lungs of an infant are not fully developed to handle AMS. You can go to the pass but if your baby starts crying, looks irritated or annoyed, or looks uneasy then you must drive back down to Manali and not go any further.
Is Rohtang open in April?
Yes, Rohtang Pass remains open in April but only after the 15th of the month. There have been times when it was open in the first week as well. However, mid-April is a safer time to assume as the official opening of the pass.
There have also been instances when continued snowfall pushed the opening of the pass to May 1st week. Historically though, Rohtang remains open in April for at least a few days to a couple of weeks.
Conclusion
I hope the information above on Rohtang Pass status was of help. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask in the comments section below. You can also contact me on Instagram to chat with me or subscribe to my YouTube channel and ask a question there.

Hi. From Sep 5, 2023, we are embarking on a motorbike tour from Delhi via Simla, Rohtang Pass, Leh, Kargil, Slinagar, Jammu to return to Delhi. Is it possible to go from Manali via Rohtang Pass to Simla? I’m also wondering if it’s not better to do this route in the opposite direction because of better acclimatization.
You will have to cross the entire Spiti Valley if you want to go to Shimla from Manali via Rohtang. Doing it the other way will be a better choice.
Vargis bhai, we are planning to leave from manali on 2nd June to spitit and come back on the same route via rotang pass ,will it be open by then , do you have any latest update with you,we have done our booking on the way from chandratal, losar to spiti

Hi Mr. Vargis,
Excuse me for too many queries. I am planning trip with family to Manali starting 25/04 – 28/04. Your blog helped me a lot. Now only question is whether Rohtang Pass will be open by then and whether kids can get some snow to play with. If Rohtang is not open, any nearby place where we can find snow. Also, I am planning to hire taxi, is it ok if I reach Manali and then book it or is it better to book in advance so that it helps service provider to arrange for permit. Sorry again for too many queries. Please help. Thanks in advance.
Sunny
