No, you cannot visit Rohtang Pass without a permit. The Himachal Pradesh government has made permits mandatory to control traffic and protect the environment. If you’re traveling from Manali, you’ll need to apply online or through authorized agents. There are two types of permits one for tourism (Rohtang top) and another for beyond Rohtang (like Leh routes). Also, only a limited number of vehicles are allowed each day, so it’s better to plan in advance.
If you don’t get a permit, you can still explore nearby spots like Gulaba, Marhi, or Solang Valley, which offer similar views and snow activities.
For group travelers, booking a Delhi to Manali Tempo Traveller is a convenient option since many operators also help with permit guidance, making your trip smoother and hassle-free.
