Which of the following tunnels was recognised as the Longest Highway Tunnel above 10,000 feet by the World Book of Records in February 2022?
Atal Tunnel
The Atal Tunnel lies below the Rohtang Pass on the Manali–Leh highway in Himachal Pradesh, at an altitude of about 10,000 feet.
In February 2022 it was certified by the World Book of Records as the "Longest Highway Tunnel above 10,000 feet," being roughly 9.02 km long.
The Chenani-Nashri Tunnel and Pir Panjal (Banihal) tunnel are in Jammu and Kashmir at lower altitudes, and the Zojila Tunnel was still under construction at that time.
Hence, the Atal Tunnel received this recognition.
