Create an itinerary including Gulaba
Play in the snow and observe picturesque mountain scenery at Gulaba, a village some 6 km (3.6 mi) from Rohtang Pass, located at some 4,000 m (13,123 ft) above the sea. When Rohtang Pass is closed in winter season, people use Gulaba for alternative skiing and winter sports, as the area offers a snow cover almost year round. Watch icicled cascades looking like frozen waterfalls, wild plants, and crystal-clear Beas River, or hike in pristine nature just 20 km (12.5 mi) from Manali main station. A narrow road and huge boulders above it provide for a breathtaking journey from Manali.
