7 Deadly Roads in India
- Tom Cockrem/ Lonely Planet
4. Zoji La Pass: Prone to Landslides
The road, at an altitude of 3,538 m above sea level, is frightfully narrow and extremely slippery due to the year-round snow and dirt mix. It gets muddy during the rains and gets blocked during the storms. Besides, frequent landslides have made it one of the scariest roads in India.
5. Chang La Pass: Third Highest Motorable Route in the World
Slippery road in the middle of snow capped mountains near Chang La Pass. Located Between Pangong and Leh Lakes in the Ladakh region. At 5.360 m above sea level, the road remains covered in snow all year round. This makes the road slippery.
Surprisingly, people could sense the scarcity of oxygen while on this road. The region's low temperatures add to the travel woes of those traveling on the world's third-highest motorized road.
6. NH 22 Kinnaur Road: Cut into Hard Rocks to Make Kinnaur Accessible
Taranda Dhank is infamous for claiming several lives. The low overhanging rocks, narrow dark holes, and blind turns make this road highly deadly. One mistake, and the vehicle will fall down into the Baspa River. If not the fall, the collision of vehicles around the blind turns are truly fatal.
7. Rohtang Pass: The Ground of Corpses
One of the narrow streets with sharp bends near Rohtang Pass on Jalan Leh-Manali. The location is on Leh – Manali roads 53 km from Manali. This road has a height of 3,979 m above sea level, Rohtang Pass is the gateway that connects Manali to Leh and Lahaul – Spiti.
However, the entire 479km route is dangerous. Snow-covered roads are prone to landslides, especially in areas surrounded by mountains on both sides.
