How to Reach Keylong
The brief
To reach Keylong, Himachal Pradesh: By Road: Keylong is reached from Manali via the Atal Tunnel beneath Rohtang (opened 2020), a spectacular chauffeured mountain leg; the onward road to Leh over the high passes is seasonal. By Air: The nearest airports are Bhuntar (Kullu-Manali, KUU) and Chandigarh (IXC), both with an onward chauffeured drive; there is no airport in Lahaul. By Rail: The nearest broad-gauge railheads are at Chandigarh and Kiratpur; onward travel over the mountains to Keylong is by our fleet. By Private Fleet: Our GPS-tracked, orthopedic-grade mountain vehicles handle the high, remote Manali-Keylong-Leh legs with drivers experienced on Trans-Himalayan roads.
Access to Keylong is a logistics problem MyTripMyTravel solves end to end, gateway selection, permits, transfers, and a GPS-tracked chauffeured fleet, so the journey is part of the mission rather than friction before it begins. Below is every viable route into Keylong, the one we recommend, and how it connects onward.

The recommended approach
For most Keylong missions we route via Road, Keylong is reached from Manali via the Atal Tunnel beneath Rohtang (opened 2020), a spectacular chauffeured mountain leg; the onward road to Leh over the high passes is seasonal. Arrival is timed against the June to September window and a recommended stay of 1 to 2 nights, so the first day absorbs travel fatigue without losing prime sightseeing hours. The chauffeur and vehicle are pre-positioned; there is no transfer scramble on arrival.
Onward continuity
Reaching Keylong is rarely the end point, it is a node in the North India. The same GPS-tracked vehicle and chauffeur continue seamlessly into the wider circuit (All curated tours, Elite chauffeured fleet, Explore North India), so there is no re-booking, no handover gap, and no renegotiating logistics mid-trip. Inter-leg permits and timing are handled before you travel.

Keylong is operated as part of the wider North India, not in isolation.

It connects naturally to All curated tours, Elite chauffeured fleet, Explore North India, so this leg is one part of a coherent mission rather than a standalone booking. Every choice here is a starting architecture, refined to your party during planning.
Good to know
How to Reach questions
Has the Atal Tunnel made Keylong easier to reach?
Considerably. The Atal Tunnel, opened beneath Rohtang in 2020, bypasses the old high Rohtang Pass and has made the drive from Manali far shorter and more reliable, extending Keylong's practical season. That said, this is still high, remote country, and heavy winter snow can disrupt travel, so we plan with buffer.
