If you can give us the exact time of the first heavy winter snowfall, I'm sure someone will come up with the exact time for closure of the passes.

Apart from that they are unlikely to be permanently closed in Oct, maybe for a few days.

Hi! In The Tribune of yesterday the news that one HRTC bus with passengers from Keylong managed to reach Manali,but the BRO still forbids traffic to heavy vehicles.
