Atal Tunnel vs Rohtang Pass route ft. Audi Q8 & RS Q8 - Tunnel Vision | Feature | Autocar India

The 9.02km long Atal Tunnel in Himachal Pradesh is the world's longest tunnel above 10,000 feet. How has the opening of the tunnel changed travel on the Leh-Manali highway? Rahul Kakar and Nikhil Bhatia set out in the Audi Q8 and Audi RS Q8 to contrast the spanking new route with the legendary old one that runs via the Rohtang Pass.

Hi

Honestly, i hadn't imagined India would have such beautiful and quality road, rail and port infrastructure one day. 🙌🏻

I think the government should still mend the broken side of the rohtang pass because it has its own history and we should celebrate that by making it close to what NC 500 is for Scotland and the Transfagarasan highway is for Romania..

[@jathinkanekal]

Driving through Rohtang pass is all together a different experience. Once in our lifetime we should drive through Rohtang pass.

[@inderjeetsinghvedi172]

I have driven through the old route 2 years back. It was a stunning and frightening drive. First day when the road is opened in summers, walls of ice / snow on both sides, no bitumen only boulders for road surface, gushing waterfall through the road... exhilarating. And the drive / view once you are about 25 Kms from Sissu is something that one can only experience in person. No words can describe them.

[@ss-qu8tw]

I have started loving these autocar features more than web series This one is the best

The cameraman made me dive deep into the video and i actually felt like I'm also inside the video ❤️
