As winter approaches, the Manali-Leh national highway has been shut down owing to dangerous driving conditions amid chilly weather. Closed on November 20, the highway is expected to open next year. Besides this highway, the Lahaul-Spiti and Ladakh administrations have ordered the closure of the Darcha-Sarchu, Darcha-Shinku La, and Gramphu-Kaza roads, expected to reopen in May when the snow melts.
