National Highway 3, National highway in Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, India.

National Highway 3 extends from Atari at the India-Pakistan border through Punjab's agricultural plains and Himachal Pradesh's mountain terrain.

The 2010 restructuring by National Highway Authority of India merged sections of former NH 1 and NH 70 with NH 21 to establish the current NH 3.

The route connects numerous communities across northern India, passing through cities like Amritsar, Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur, Mandi, and Manali.

The 556-kilometer highway system includes multiple service stations, rest areas, and emergency services positioned at regular intervals along the route.

The elevation changes drastically as the highway progresses, reaching heights of 4,890 meters at Baralacha La pass in the Zanskar mountain range.
