Insane Bus Ride in The Himalayas!-Getting To The Mountains Is Exciting As Climbing Them

in twothousandfeet •  7 years ago 


The Himalayan Road, located in India and Tibet, is considered as one of the most dangerous and deadliest roads in the world. The road is built right into the face of one of the highest peaks in the world. Due to the sense of adventure that this road brings, many adrenaline junkies try to drive or bike their way through this treacherous road. One of the most popular trails is the road that connects Leh (or Ladakh) to Manali (or Himachal Pradesh) in the Indian part of the mountain range. This part is known among hardcore adventure bikers as “one of the world’s highest motorable roads.” The road is tough, which is why it is not recommended for beginners.

Known as the “Death Road”, the North Yungas Road has a solid rock on one side and a 2,000-foot abyss on the other side. The 12-foot wide road is regularly named as the world’s most dangerous road. Many parts of the North Yungas Road are unpaved and lack guardrails. Weather is also a problem on this dangerous road. Warm and humid winds from the Amazon can bring heavy rains and fog on this road, making it harder to drive. The road often has many mudslides and tumbling rocks, and small waterfalls occasionally rain down the cliff sides. Due to the harsh road condition, the North Yungas Road takes the lives of 200 to 300 people every year.
