Why Special
Before the Atal Tunnel opened in 2020, Lahaul was cut off 6 months a year. Now you can drive through in minutes into lunar valleys, glacial rivers, and Buddhist gompas. Keylong is the district HQ, Jispa is the backpacker stop, Darcha is the trailhead for Zanskar. Dramatically underexplored.
