Its called the world's most treacherous road

[overl4nder]

I think even ICE road truckers had a segment or two here.
anyways, enjoy this video snippet

Not much wiggle room, but for my money nothing ups the pucker factor more than hairpin turns pointing downwards when you're praying that brake pedal doesnt give a hair.

Thanks guys.
Its in India (Spiti region).
I am putting together the video with many such stretches with rockfall, waterfall on the road.
We even got stuck for 24 hours due to landslides blocking the road, and torrential rainfall.

This is just a snippet.

Nope, don't think so. Too insecure on the right, too far down on the left

There were a few times when you would have heard the car scraping on the right from me driving.

I can't imagine having any traffic on that, and having to back up. Yikes.

Thanks for taking us along.

while coming back, there is a video section where I have to back up as another car comes. Making the long video of the entire section. Its the same road they took the ice road truckers on.

On one section, a rockfall blocked the road. A tiny hatchback could go through. As for us, one wheel was almost falling down the cliff, and the right floorboard was simply scraping the massive rocks, as more were falling.

One of the scariest rides!

For most of that I sat here thinking "This doesn't seem too real bad..." (resembles some of the old mining shelf roads here in the California desert... though no ticking ice bombs). At 2:48 I thought, "Ok this spot's a bit puckering"... but then 3:06 my level of alertness shot waaaaaaayyyy up seeing those literally sheer cliffsides and narrowness of the road there lol.

I think it's safe to say getting caught in an earthquake while on that road might suck. :Wow1:

×2, thanks for sharing.
