Leh–Manali Highway
The Leh–Manali Highway is a long highway in northernmost India connecting Leh, one of the two capitals of the union territory of Ladakh, to Manali in the state of Himachal Pradesh. It connects the Manali Solang valley to the Lahaul and Spiti valleys in Himachal Pradesh and the Zanskar valley in Ladakh. It is open for only about five months in a year, from mid-May or June (when the snow is cleared from the highway) to October, when snowfall again blocks the high passes on the highway. However, the Lahaul valley will now remain connected to Manali for most part of the year through already completed Atal tunnel. With the completion of under-construction Shingo La Tunnel, targeted to be completed by 2024, the whole Leh-Manali route will become all-weather road.

The Leh–Manali Highway which acts as a trunk route for various India-China Border Roads in Ladakh and Himachal has been designed, built and being maintained by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) of the Indian army. It supports the heaviest army vehicles.
