  Atal Tunnel or Rohtang Tunnel is the longest tunnel in the world above the height of 10000 feet from Mean Sea Level (MSL).   Located in the path of Rohtang pass from Manali to Leh the 9.2 Km long Atal Tunnel is now the longest Highway Tunnel in the world at an Altitude of 10000ft above the mean sea level. Construction of the project started on 28 june 2010 and completed on September 2020. It has Altitude of 10040ft at south portal and Altitude at North portal is 10075ft. Previously the distance between Manali to Leh was 473 Km but now with the construction of this tunnel distance of 473 Km is reduced by 43 Km and travel time is reduced by 4-5 hrs. This tunnel is safe for traveling in all weather condions. This route would be preferred now for Leh-Ladakh tour by the travellers over the Jammu-Srinagar Highway. This tunnel is very much useful for the military aspect also it can provide army troops comfort and security amid the critical conditions between india and china at...

 ROADS are the connectors of the two places whether it is a City, Town or Village. Whether paved or unpaved it is called a road. A Road network is a network of inter-connecting roads which provide facility for the motor vehicles to travel via different routes or to change paths on-the-go. India has now become the 2nd largest road network in the world, surpassing the neighboring country who is competitor of India in every field yes I am talking about china. India has 5903293Km of road network throughout the country while china having only 5012500Km of road network. India has beaten china by 890793Km length of roads in the country. In terms of Expressways china is far ahead of India it has 149600Km of network while India has only 1643Km of network.  On the road network list United Sates holds the 1st position having 6853024Km of Road network and in terms of expressways it has 95932Km of network, less than china by 53668Km.  Russia & Canada being the 1st & 2nd...
