The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) under the Himank project has restored the Manali-Leh highway to traffic up to Sarchu from Leh side.
This 428-km highway crosses through high mountain passes like Baralacha Pass (15,910 ft) and Tanglang Pass (17,480 ft), which receive heavy snow during winter, blocking the highway to traffic for months every year.
According to official sources in the BRO, the stage is set for the opening of this highway as the team has reached Sarchu, the border of Himachal Pradesh and the Union Territory of Ladakh, two day ago from Leh side.
