Rohtang Pass
Rohtang Pass. Livelihood of the local people depend on tourists. They setup tea stalls like these and use horses to ferry tourists to higher places. For some reason authorities don't allow the locals to put up these small stalls at Rohtang Pass. So they work as salaried workers for others on these shops. A hot cup of tea in the cold weather is what the tourists need at this place and authorities should encourage facilities to keep a balance between helping locals earn, provide facilities to tourists and keeping the area pollution free. Blogpost coming up soon with more photos from the trip.
