I think this is the first time this highway has opened so soon!
Blame it on the consistent 7 degrees above normal temperatures, and lack of snowfall

wohooooo right on. What a pleasant news to hear.

Manali Leh route is also schedule to be opened next week.. It

Rohtang is scheduled to open next week, not manali leh highway. Baralach La will open slightly later, my guess, the earliest would be 2 weeks from now if there is no fresh snowfall.
However since a major western disturbance is active now, there may be delays.

Hey guys..any updates on this? I would be closely watching this thread as I need to make my trip to Leh & Ladakh this year [may be couple of months down the line] and want to know the current year's conditions. Have you guys had this trip? Its June 2nd week and no updates on this thread?
