Top 6 Indian Roads Are Not For Weak-Hearted

Nathu La Pass, Sikkim

Nathu La Pass is one of the three open trading border posts between India and China. It has been a very significant pass for the Sino-Indian Trade and has even reduced the distance between the two important Buddhist and Hindu pilgrimage sites.

Kolli Hills Road, Tamil Nadu

The notable portion of the Eastern Ghats comes at the famous Kolli Hills-the Agaya Gangai Waterfalls or the Kollimalai Falls. Richness and variety define the forests of this land. Higher slopes will have some tropical evergreen forest patches too; one example would be Ariyur Shola.

Leh-Manali Highway

Leh-Manali Highway serves as a trunk route for the India-China Border Roads in both Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh. The construction, development, and maintenance are carried out by the Indian Army's Border Roads Organisation (BRO). The highway supports even the heaviest army vehicles.

Spiti Valley Road, Himachal Pradesh

The great Buddhist culture is the dominating feature of the Spiti valley. Naked & rugged snow top mountains, sparsely populated villages at long distances, beautiful blue sky & equally beautiful blue Spiti River make this isolated land.

Zoji La Pass, Jammu & Kashmir

The pass connects Leh and Srinagar and is an important link between the Union Territories of Ladakh and Kashmir. Zojila is called the "Mountain Pass of Blizzards." In winter, the pass remains closed because of heavy snowfall, which cuts off the Ladakh region from Kashmir.

Khardung La Pass, Ladakh

Khardungla Pass, standing at a staggering altitude of 5,359 metres from sea level, finds frequent boastings as the 'world's highest motorable pass'. Located within the precipitous landscapes of Jammu and Kashmir's Ladakh district, it serves as the entry to Shyok and Nubra valleys.
