AD We’re in Manali, Himachal Pradesh and we’re heading northwards this fine October’s day. But today it’s not about the destination but the journey itself…the journey that just got a lot shorter with the opening of the much-talked about Atal Tunnel, the world’s longest tunnel above 10,000 feet. What we want to know is exactly how much shorter the route has become in, both, distance and time. On this mission is Rahul who’ll be driving from Manali to Sissu on the Leh highway via the Atal Tunnel in an Audi Q8. Nikhil, on the other hand, will be taking the older and longer route via the famed Rohtang Pass in the Q8’s evil twin, the 600hp Audi RS Q8.
