Consider the following statements:

2. It connects the Sikkim Valley with the Lahaul and Spiti Valleys of Himachal Pradesh, India.
3. The pass lies on the watershed between the Chenab and Beas basins.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Explanation:
Rohtang Pass is a high mountain pass on the eastern Pir Panjal Range of the Himalayas around 51 km from Manali. It connects the Kullu Valley with the Lahaul and Spiti Valleys of Himachal Pradesh, India. The pass provides a natural divide between the Kullu Valley with a primarily Hindu culture (in the south) and the arid high-altitude Lahaul and Spiti valleys with a Buddhist culture (in the north). On the southern side of this pass the Beas River emerges from underground and flows southward and on its northern side the Chandra River (flows from the eastern Himalayas) a source stream of the river Chenab flows westward
