Keylong

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Keylong is the administrative centre of the Lahul and Spiti district in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, some 120 kilometres from the Indo-Tibetan border. Located at an altitude of 3,350 metres, Keylong is cut off from the outside world from November to April, due to heavy snowfall at Rohtang Pass.

Keylong is located along the Manali–Leh road, about 7 km north east of intersection of the Chandra Valley, the Bhaga Valley, and the Chenab Valley; on the banks of Bhaga River. Sights near Keylong include the Kardang, Shasur, and Tayul monasteries.
