Gulaba
गुलाबा
A snow viewpoint on the Rohtang road. When Rohtang Pass is closed or permits are sold out, it is often the alternative for seeing and playing in the snow.
Gulaba lies on the Rohtang road about 20 km north of Manali, at roughly 3,000 metres. Its open slopes offer views of the snow peaks of the upper Kullu Valley. When snow covers the ground in spring or early winter, it is a popular spot for snow play, horse riding and snowmobiling. When Rohtang Pass is closed or its permits are full, taxi drivers often take visitors to Gulaba instead. You still need to register at the checkpoint, and numbers may be capped in peak season. Gulaba is also the starting point for the hike to Bhrigu Lake.
