Hello Fellow Steemians,
Good Evening Guys, I hope you are enjoying the weekend.

Today, I will be posting about a pass which is quite famous among the people of country and every year tourists from around the world come to visit this high mountain pass.
The name of this beautiful and dangerous pass situated at an altitude of 3,978 meters (13,058 ft) above the sea level is Rohtang Pass or Rohtang-La.

This pass is quite beautiful and dangerous too as Rohtang in the Ladakhi language (Bhoti) means pile of corpses.
This pass got this name due to numerous people died in bad weather conditions while crossing this pass.
In Bhoti language Ro means corpse and thang means field.

This Pass has a reputation for being the dangerous because the weather is unpredictable (snowstorms and blizzards).

From 2016 onwards tourists travelling towards Rohtang Pass requires a permit which is issued by Himachal Pradesh Government .
They started issuing permits to prevent the pollution in the area by restricting the vehicles, only 1200 vehicles are allowed per day which includes 800 petrol vehicles and 400 diesel vehicles.

Rohtang tunnel is being built and it will be one of the longest road tunnels in India.
The tunnel is at an elevation of 3,100 meters above the sea level and is expected to be operational in 2019 which will eventually reduce the traffic at Rohtang Pass.
