The present Rohtang Pass status is closed from both Manali and Keylong sides. Due to the bad weather and heavy snowfall in October and November, the pass was declared closed for both tourists and travelers. Depending on the weather next year and snow-clearing work by BRO, Rohtang will reopen either in April or early May.

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.
