After Shimla, Manali, Kasauli and Solan, Kullu will have its own mall road in a few months as nearly one-kilometer stretch of the city will be developed as a happening area to chill out for locals and to attract tourists. Like most of the towns and cities of Himachal, Kullu is becoming congested with growing population. The old markets are already crowded with no space for people to sit or stand. The moving traffic makes it difficult for people to enjoy the shopping. Also, the increasing tourist movement in the city requires authorities to develop new attractions for them. Sources said officials are mulling to develop a mall road in the city on the lines of Manali. The highway between Dhalpur chowk and college chowk has been identified for the purpose under Amrut scheme.

As Atal tunnel, Rohtang, the longest tunnel in the world above altitude of 3,000m, is expected to be a major tourist attraction of Himachal, the chief minister Jai Ram Thakur said this tunnel will start a concept of "tunnel tourism" for the first time in the country.
