The 9.02-km Atal Tunnel connects Manali to Lahaul Valley in all seasons. What used to be a 5-hour Rohtang crossing is now a 10-minute drive. Most visitors do a Manali → Sissu → Chandratal-viewpoint day trip.
One-way fares from major cities. Round trip is roughly 1.8× the one-way price (driver's return day built in). All fares include tolls, parking & driver allowance.
