Rohtang Pass will be closed in March. You will be able to reach either Gulaba (32 KMs before Rohtang Pass) or may be Marhi (about 19 KMs though not likely). I know you have sent some itinerary on my email, I will provide you my suggestions on the same wen I reach home :) Regards Dheeraj Sharma Nopes Prashanth. Rohtang Pass will be closed in March.

You may like to follow the below plan - Day 1 | Reach Shimla. Check-in and rest at hotel. In the second half explore local Shimla including Shimla Ridge, Mall Road, Lakkar Bazaar, Back to Hotel By Evening. Day 2 | Around Shimla, a relaxing day. Jakhoo Temple, State Museum, Mall Road, Ridge etc. as you like or may be you can visit Kufri in the first half of the day and all this in the second half of the day. Day 3 | Shimla - Narkanda - Hatu Peak - Narkanda - Shimla (a bit long day) or you can do Shimla - Kufri - Chail - Shimla (Little les hectic :)) Day 4 | Shimla - Manali Day 5 | Manali Local sightseeing which includes Hadimba Temple, Manu Temple, Mall Road, Local Monastery, Vashisth Hot Water Springs (never found it interesting) etc. Day 6 | Manali – Snow Point either at Solang Valley or Marhi/Gulaba on the way to Rohtang Pass. Enjoy in snow and come back to Manali Day 7 | Manali – Naggar Castle(stay at Naggar and enjoy the place. Very romantic with great views and food. Visit Roerich Musueum, Art Gallery and do not miss the hike to ancient Krishna Temple at the top) Day 8 | Naggar Castle – Manali – Delhi. Checkout from Naggar Castle by noon and leave for Delhi. ** if you have time then try, Manali Sanctuary can also be covered as it is just about 2-3 KMs from Manali town and there is trail which starts from Manali Log Huts or Dhungri temple that leads you into the woods.  ** If you are short on number of days then skip Day 7 and return to Chandigarh at night from Manali on Day 7. I hope this helps. Please let me know incase you have more doubts or queries. Regards, Dheeraj Sharma Hi Prashanth,

So, it is highly likely that you will be able to go over Khardung La to Nubra Valley. But, if it has snowed in near time then it all depends on the luck. Do not know how short on time you guys are but if you are flying you will need to acclimatize for atleast 2-3 days if not 4. Temperatures will start to rise in march but still in minus and cold conditions makes body difficult to acclimatize. So, do try to acclimtize first before climbing over Khardung La to go over to Nubra Valley. I hope this helps. Please let me know incase you have any queries or doubts.
