Kyelang (also spelled Keylong) is a town and the administrative centre of the Lahaul and Spiti district in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, north of Manali via Atal Tunnel and from the Indo-Tibetan border. It is located along the Manali-Leh Highway and the banks of the Bhaga River. Kyelang lies about northeast of where the Chenab Valley splits into the Chandra Valley and Bhaga Valley.
==Climate== Kyelang has a subalpine climate (Köppen Dfc), bordering upon an alpine climate (ETH) with frigid, snowy winters and cool summers. As it lies south of the main Himalaya range, snowfall is much heavier than in arid Spiti or Ladakh.
