Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Manali to Lahaul-Spiti.
The Atal Tunnel, built by the Border Roads Organisation at an altitude of 3,000 meters, connects Manali in Himachal Pradesh to the Lahaul-Spiti district. This strategic tunnel, which is 9.02 kilometres long, significantly reduces the travel time between these regions by bypassing the harsh conditions of the Rohtang Pass. It provides year-round access to Lahaul-Spiti, ensuring improved connectivity, boosting tourism, and aiding the movement of defence personnel and supplies to the border areas.
