Tourists Welcomed Hallan II
The youths of the Hallan II village in Himachal Pradesh have independently made arrangements for the visitors to give them a great experience. The locals have already arranged a new tourist destination that gives access to the snow covered hills of Manali valley like Rohtang Pass offering activities like tube sliding and skiing that are not available at the Pass.
The tourists will have to go on a 20 minutes trek to witness the snow in its full glory over the mountains. The broken paths have been restored by the Hallan II locals itself and have even constructed small bridges wherever required over streamlets. All this has been made possible by the youth committee of the village that is very devoted. The committee is also keeping a check on the prices of the activities that tourists take up at the destination.
Since the Himachal Pradesh tourism has kept a bar on the number of vehicles that can be permitted to Rohtang Pass each day the Hallan II is free of theses type of restrictions and the road to this beautiful place is congestion free as well.
