A 12-hour rescue operation successfully evacuated over 1,000 vehicles stranded between Solang Nallah and the Atal Tunnel near Manali.
The police confirmed that all passengers have safely reached Manali, though efforts are still underway to free some vehicles trapped in heavy snow. The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has begun clearing snow to restore smooth road connectivity.
According to DSP Manali, around 60 to 70 vehicles remain stuck between Solang Nallah and Dhundi but are expected to arrive in Manali soon. Despite the weather improving, the thick snow has made driving conditions extremely dangerous. Senior officials, including DSP Manali, SDM Manali, and SHO Manali, are on-site, monitoring the situation with the help of the police and rescue teams.
Meanwhile, Manali is buzzing with festive excitement as tourists flock to the region for Christmas and New Year celebrations. Known for its stunning snow-covered landscapes, the town has seen a rise in hotel occupancy, with rates reaching 60-70%. Most hotels are expected to be fully booked by December 25 as more visitors arrive to enjoy the holiday season.
Hotels and resorts across Manali are fully prepared for the festivities, offering special packages and events to attract guests. Visitors can look forward to DJ nights, bonfires, traditional Kulluvi Natti dance performances, and star-studded celebrations. The mix of entertainment and cultural experiences promises to make Manali a top destination for holiday revelers this season.
