Tourists flock to Lahaul valley as bus service to Keylong resumes
Tourists are flocking to the Lahaul valley to enjoy a range of snow activities, as the weather in the region turns pleasant. The Lahaul region, known for its breathtaking landscapes and snow-capped peaks, has become a popular destination for adventure enthusiasts looking to enjoy winter sports.
The north portal of the Atal Tunnel near Sissu, located on the Manali-Leh highway, has seen a significant rise in tourist activity in recent days.
The resumption of the Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HRTC) bus service between Manali and Keylong has made easy access to the area.
The service that was resumed yesterday provides tourists with an easy and convenient transportation option to visit the Atal Tunnel and explore the Lahaul valley.
Tourists visiting the region are making the most of the abundant snow near the tunnel and in the surrounding valleys.
Popular activities such as skiing, snow scooter ride and snow trekking have become key attractions, drawing visitors from all parts of the country.
The spectacular snowy landscapes, combined with a range of recreational activities, have made the Lahaul valley an ideal winter retreat.
However, the Lahaul-Spiti police have advised tourists to exercise caution while visiting the area, especially near rivers. As the snow has started melting, the river currents have become stronger and more unpredictable.
The authorities concerned have advised tourists to avoid going close to rivers and other bodies to ensure their safety and prevent any untoward incidents.
The local authorities are taking necessary precautions to ensure the safety of both tourists and residents. The natural beauty and recreational activities offered in the Lahaul valley, combined with improved accessibility, are expected to make the area a hotspot of tourists in the coming weeks.
