I'm from HIMACHAL and being a mountain boy, these all are extremely normal for me and when the tourists (from plains) travel in our buses, that's the time we have a lots of fun just watching their reactions 😄😄😄
i have been on 2 of these roads.. for the first 30-40 minutes.. you're like like we are gonna die.. but then you suddenly feel relaxed and you just enjoy the view.. one of my buddies even dozed off 1 hour into the journey 😂 he was like "what's the point in living anyway"
@@sidhantjasrotia220 I think he was just emphasizing the line what's the point as it made him laugh 😂 For some reason he put * and that made the comment mean something else. 😂
Well !! why do you think we have 33 million gods here in India.. they have to work in shifts to protect so many vehicles on these roads 🤣🤣🤣.. I drove NH22 and its beautiful and exciting.😃😃.. its like a therapy
I've been on the LEH-SRINAGAR road and in a tempo(capacity 11) and most of my friends closed their eyes because of mountain sickness. The driver was from the local area and had good experience in driving through such roads. We had to change our way several times because of landslides and once we had to halt for 5 hours because they were clearing the road after landslide and we got saved by just a couple of minutes. I was scared inside but when I look back at it now I laugh at how calm I was on the outside when most of my friends were super scared. ONE HELL OF AN EXPERIENCE !!!!
Those roads see regular rockslides and mudslides hence guardrails are not feasible as they get washed away. I have been on two of these, and in any remote and high part of the Himalayas it is similar, but only in sections.
Thanks to corrupt officials, who deliverately construct a degraded roads using poor mixtures and take money for repairing the same degraded roads in name of public safety.
Himalayas are young fold mountains(unlike Andes n Rocky) which means they are ever growing and the rocks are not very hard to hold. That's the reason maintenance of Himalayan roads is tough nut, specially in rainy seasons.
I had an incredible experience of NH22. I just forgot to panic as I was watching our driver's insane driving skill sitting beside him! You just can't imagine how they drive and that too not even honking or flashing at the blind curves😱 You may have to get down and walk at several points to shed the weight of the vehicle (leaving only the driver to drive) but despite all odds the scenic beauty (it's a lifetime experience) is awesome and yes, some of you may feel nauseous during the journey 🙏🇮🇳🌻🙂
@@KavilashPanicker Brother, you know very well😏🙂 but generally it is a habit for heavy vehicle drivers as I didn't find anyone (light vehicle drivers) drunk during driving through these roads.🙏
They didnt talk about the "asli"(real) scary thing about those roads - those roads can get landslided any time anywhere !!...imagine u just got through a pass like that and when u return back to this pass at the end of the day, the road is nowhere to be seen......and BRO staffs (BORDER ROADs ORGANISATION) are clearing the boulders and making the road again with extreme precision....cheers to BRO 😎🎉👍👍
I've been to school on roads like these in uk (uttarakhand lol) for like 6-7 years, I eventually just accepted the fact that if I die one day I'd just die and that's it lol
I drove from shimla to Spiti valley, similar roads next to Spiti river. It was on hell of a experience , felt more grateful to the life I have after the trip 😀
Me too. Covered Chitkul, Nako, Kalpa, Kaza on that trip. Every turn in the road presented a breathtaking vista. We left our car at Narkanda and used a hired vehicle with a local driver for the rest of the week long trip. Did you happen to see the Sutlej too? What difference in the waters of the two!
If they put the guards on the side...then the landslide gravel will get stucked and this will make the road unserviceable for days...as its very difficult to clean it on that heights...plus the rains make it very slushy
This is not an accurate description of the roads enlisted. I am a resident of the state called HP, deep in the Himalayas and this video was evident that it has no idea of what actually the dangerous roads are. This vedio just took random pictures of beautiful roads that didn't even match the description of what they were named as.wait let me send you an actual series which really describe these accurately....wait for the link in the next comments.
Yup, that video is from south India, and we don't know much about it like the residents, but still these roads are itself scary for us. It would be better if the residents does a video like this for us to know more.
I've been trekking since i was 11 my dad was posted in himachal as an officer that time...now i am 20...much love to the pahadi people.😘..u guys are sweet...tho sometimes you brag a little but i still like coming back to the "crown of India"... Love from delhi😍😘
I have done both Zozilla and Manali-Leh! They are all 2 way and you need to be very very very very very.....alert! I did it on a bike with my brother; it was very exhausting and you don't look at the sides only at the road and the upcoming vehicle. It's very demanding and squeezes you physically and mentally. Also, remember that the oxygen levels there are very low...vehicle engine gets less oxygen for combustion! You can't walk on those roads. It was a life-changing experience for both of us.
Gaurd rails were put up on many of these roads, but they would often break, and ultimately the maintenance organization just plain ass gave up on the hassle. Moreover u will not find these kinds of road anywhere in the world, bcoz these are Himalayan roads. And the Himalayas are really really treacherous!
The funny thing is that when I went to Ladakh from Kashmir through zo-jila pass, the no. 1 in the list, an actual landslide just took place literally in front of us and we waited for 3 hours to cross it as the army war clearing the debris. I have been on 3 of these, they are all fun, exciting & a bit overwhelming and mesmerizing in a scray way but Yeah nothing like you can't do them.
3:06 when we were going to Jammu and Kashmir in a bus with a travel agency, we were stuck right there. Then I was around 5 years old and I still remembered that day. One wheel of our bus was literally hanging. Some people there helped all of us who were inside the bus to come out. And after that we had to wait approximately half an hour. And at last with the help of those people, the bus was taken out.
Well ..I am an Indian and I know India has dangerous roads... but seeing this exists , esp the one where the bus was standing between two big rocks...makes me shocked and horrified...hats off to u guys who have commented here that this is part of normal life for u 🙏
😄😁😆 That's BEAUTIFUL India 🇮🇳 and "I Passed ALL of Those" and in ALL Those EXPERIENCE , I must tell You "It's AWESOME Feeling"...You must go to those Places.....
I have been to two of these roads. They are scary and uncomfortable, but the sheer beauty of the himalayas, and the thrill makes up for all of it in my opinion.
we traveled from sonamarg to zero point, kashmir in the most rickety jeep of the region n i was howling the entire journey. it was terrifying n i started questioning our driver Salman about his experience in driving. he would turn back, look me in the eye n reply n i yelled back, 'look in the front!!!' finally when he said, i grew up in this region. it's my playground.', i can tell you, i experienced pure relief!!!
These roads are very normal to us. I would really recommend you to travel through Himachal in India and you'll thank atleast there are roads at that height.
I am reminded of a trip to a place called Manikaran, which is famous for hot water springs in the mountains. When we got to Manikaran, the tour party dispersed. There are a few temples and a Gurudrawara. After seeing the hot springs, we went to the Gurudwara for langar and there we met our bus driver washing the dishes left behind by pilgrims after langar. He told us, it was his way of showing gratitude to God for bringing everyone up the mountain safely. On the way up the mountain I had napped to avoid feeling car sick. On the way down, I couldn't take my eyes off the road and realised what the driver meant.
Yes... Been to couple of roads.. Some crazy experiences. Loved it. Road guards are not feasible because there is some land/mud/snow slides every other day and the guards get washed away.
I stay in Siliguri, which is very near to Sikkim, the Eastern part of India 🇮🇳 and the first one is the road which I have hundreds of pictures and have camped at night during the winters as well. You will get the road on your way to Zuluk, a place in Sikkim. On a day with clear sky it’s just breathtaking! The Leh - Manali Highway is also common for us bikers when we are on our tours.
I belong to Lahaul spiti but live in delhi so i have to cross that road every year and idk I've been used to that road so it's not scary to me at all it's beautiful. And with a right driver it's totally safe!
The first time I went to Kasol, Himachal Pradesh, I was leaning towards the mountain-side, because of this insane fear that my weight might tip the bus over. 😜 Now, I'm used to it. Sitting with the driver, in the cabin, is a 'heart in your mouth' kinda experience. Even experienced an exciting ride sitting on top of a bus, from Chatru to Manali, via Rohtang Pass. That was one crazy ride. 🤪
Having driven in Rocky mountains as an amateur driver, I can understand how scary it was but then I came back to India and started driving here. Rocky mountains was way better than some roads here 😀
Though these roads are dangerous but you would find a lot of people on those roads all year round..... it’s one of the reasons for increased tourism especially for bikers
I have been on 2 of these roads. We started climbing Zojila at 6 am and thankfully there weren't many vehicles, also it being September we didn't have to battle snow sludge. Zojila is extremely important road for our defense because it connects highly sensitive area with rest of India. Leh - Srinagar and Leh - Manali highway takes one to Indo - Pakistan and Indo - China borders. Hence these roads are very important but difficult to maintain because of constant land slides and avalanches. Other than defense and localites, these roads are very popular with adventure travellers including westerners. TH-cam is full of these adventurer's travel vlogs. For us personally Leh - Manali was the more traumatic than Zojila, thrice we thought we wouldn't make it alive. It was a lifetime adventure and experience but don't think will go on these 2 roads again. But strongly feel that every Indian should go there once in their lifetime to appreciate our army who protects our borders in such hostile conditions, they have to travel on these dangerous roads everyday to protect our country. Got very emotional when visited Zojila and Kargil war memorials.
Yes I've been to three of those, most dangerous was Leh Manali because of landslide and our driver was not slowing down 😅 even during thick fog ahead of us. Maintenance is difficult because it's at very high altitude and also it's covered in Snow most of the time.
On a trip to Ladakh in 2014, we drove through the Srinagar-Leh highway to reach highway. We had to cross Zojila Pass (No 1 on this list). It was really amazing and thrilling. On our way back, we took the Manali-Leh Highway (No 3 on this list). That one of the longest periods I've been on the road. It was some of the best days.
I did a Mumbai to ladakh bike trip and went through mostly all the roads in those mountains. First of all its not badly maintained its difficult to maintain because half of the year its closed because of snow and landslides rains just washes up the road every now n then. Secondly just to carve those roads through the heart of the Himalayas and other mountain ranges is a commendable feat in itself. Big up for BRO they have made some unbelievable pathways throughout Himalayas.
I have been on one in Pachmadi, and the regular drivers there cuts like they don't want us to live another day! And to add to that, we had a little disagreement with our driver, because he was 2 hours late, and *he took his revenge* by giving us Heart attacks by overspending around every single turn! And I was only 9 back then.
A friend once drove a truck ,in the 90's , from ropar in Punjab to ladakh. There were quite a few stretches where if two vehicles came upon each other from opposing directions, one had to reverse a long long way. The rules were that , whoever stuck his head out and yelled "bainch**d first , got the right of way .
These are amoung the youngest mountains that are still growing and so land slides are so common that a repaired road or a guard rail will be gone on the next land slide in the next few days, weeks or months. Some of these roads get closed for traffic for several months during monsoon or winter and helicopters would be deployed to serve the cut-off towns.
These routes are very long and that's why its difficult to maintain and land slide happens a lot in this leh ladak region .once i went to manali . I stuck in this kind of roads for 5 h .
my friends travelled on leh ladakh road in scorpio jeep unfortunately the tire gone slipped and fall into the valley of 1200ft. my 5 friends died. two were safe.
I've actually peeked out of the BUS on similar roads, and gone back to sleep cause meh, it's just as usual. The one time I did get anxious was when the bus had to make a maneuver where one of its wheels was off the road, literally hovering over the cliff.
Hi guys Been to most of the dangerous roads in Ladakh and Kashmir Zojila paas is the toughest. But now roads are improving.thanks to BRO. All the best.
6:38 there are no grills on road and rivers on roads because they are on altitudes where you can't breathe without medicines, machines cannot work properly because there is so less oxygen that you cannot burn fuel properly for things to work lol
Live in Uttarakhand, another part of India with dicey, narrow, unreliable roads. Everytime we have to travel it gives us anxiety a night or two before. Taking up motion sickness meds is almost a routine before traveling on these roads as the local drivers don’t even slow down a bit. Every curve makes you believe that now the vehicle is going down the hill into the river. Also there’s landslides in monsoon so another factor of fear. Life in hills is very scary because of everyday transportation.
I've been to the Zojila pass- the top 1 road in that video. it wasn't even completely winter yet so there wasn't any snow. honestly, the road is a little terrifying but I wasn't scared cause the scenery was that enticing. it totally consumes you. so much so that you barely recognize the danger. one thing. do not ride shotgun. it'll make you dizzy. : ) : ) : )
I've been to Ladakh via Leh-Manali Highway on a bike and Zojil Pass road from Leh to Srinagar last year! It's damn dangerous! But you should travel on a bike at least once in your life there! It's a must-visit experience!!
We used to go there in my childhood every year for Amarnath yatra and Vaishno devi in Jammu and Kashmir from Rajasthan. Most of the roads are like this there. It's really scary.
Apart from the first one ( Sikkim zig zag ) I have driven in all other roads. All are doors to hell. One blink mistake and you will be travelling either to hell or heaven. No scope of any stop if you roll down those cliffs... I have seen passengers literally blindfolding themselves so that they won’t see down the hell slope.... now this is called breath taking in true senses
My sister went with her friends to Leh and I think on the way back they lost 2 of their friends in a landslide on the Leh-Manali road. Only 2 of the 4 people returned. It was scary to listen to the story, can't imagine what they would've gone through.
Go for Road trip on motorcycle from Delhi-Shimla-Rampur-Reckong peo-kalpa-chikul-nako-Dhankar-Tabo-Pin Valley-mudh village-kaza-Kibber-Chicham-Komic-Key Monetary-Langza-Hikkim-Manali. This route is called "Spiti Road trip" I have done this trip. Really Amazing experience. Out of world places called Moonland. There is another road trip from Srinagar-Drass-Kargil-Leh-Jispa-Keylong-Rohtang Pass-Manali-Delhi
My hometown is in Uttarakhand... We have to travel from these kinda roads everytime we have to go there, so these kind of roads are pretty normal for us who belong to mountain regions ❤

But strongly feel that every Indian should go there once in their lifetime to appreciate our army who protects our borders in such hostile conditions, they have to travel on these dangerous roads everyday to protect our country. Got very emotional when visited Zojila and Kargil war memorials.
USA doesn't have the great Himalayas , so where will you make such roads.
I've been on Zozi La (Srinagar-Leh) and other side of Leh towards Pangong
Yes I've been to three of those, most dangerous was Leh Manali because of landslide and our driver was not slowing down 😅 even during thick fog ahead of us. Maintenance is difficult because it's at very high altitude and also it's covered in Snow most of the time.
On a trip to Ladakh in 2014, we drove through the Srinagar-Leh highway to reach highway. We had to cross Zojila Pass (No 1 on this list). It was really amazing and thrilling. On our way back, we took the Manali-Leh Highway (No 3 on this list). That one of the longest periods I've been on the road. It was some of the best days.
I did a Mumbai to ladakh bike trip and went through mostly all the roads in those mountains. First of all its not badly maintained its difficult to maintain because half of the year its closed because of snow and landslides rains just washes up the road every now n then. Secondly just to carve those roads through the heart of the Himalayas and other mountain ranges is a commendable feat in itself. Big up for BRO they have made some unbelievable pathways throughout Himalayas.
I have been on one in Pachmadi, and the regular drivers there cuts like they don't want us to live another day!
And to add to that, we had a little disagreement with our driver, because he was 2 hours late, and *he took his revenge* by giving us Heart attacks by overspending around every single turn! And I was only 9 back then.
M from uttrakhand and been there to himachal our native state quite a few times..they have the courageous drivers of the planet i think..
Some of these roads are connecting major places, cannot be avoided if people need to visit those places.
A friend once drove a truck ,in the 90's , from ropar in Punjab to ladakh. There were quite a few stretches where if two vehicles came upon each other from opposing directions, one had to reverse a long long way. The rules were that , whoever stuck his head out and yelled "bainch**d first , got the right of way .
These are amoung the youngest mountains that are still growing and so land slides are so common that a repaired road or a guard rail will be gone on the next land slide in the next few days, weeks or months. Some of these roads get closed for traffic for several months during monsoon or winter and helicopters would be deployed to serve the cut-off towns.
4:02 Obviously it's a one way road Rick. Do you see any room for second vehicle? 😄
These routes are very long and that's why its difficult to maintain and land slide happens a lot in this leh ladak region .once i went to manali . I stuck in this kind of roads for 5 h .
*You need 3 things to drive in India :-*
1) Good brakes.
2) Good horns.
3) Good luck.
That’s why Himachali Drivers are known as the best drivers in India. They will drop you at your destination safely , road or no road. 😊
my friends travelled on leh ladakh road in scorpio jeep unfortunately the tire gone slipped and fall into the valley of 1200ft. my 5 friends died.
two were safe.
Yessss!! Looks like pass to the "Khazad-dum" 😂😂😂👍you are right..
'Dead Sarai' named road at baramulla pass is the scariest in my views, we crossed at midnight, complete avalanche area, -25°C
This will be good. Have travelled some of these roads. India's great infrastructure
I've actually peeked out of the BUS on similar roads, and gone back to sleep cause meh, it's just as usual.
The one time I did get anxious was when the bus had to make a maneuver where one of its wheels was off the road, literally hovering over the cliff.
I was sitting right over the spot where the tyre was below and I just saw the road vanish, so technically I too was hovering over the cliff.
Hi guys
Been to most of the dangerous roads in Ladakh and Kashmir
Zojila paas is the toughest.
But now roads are improving.thanks to BRO.
All the best.
"That doesn't look dangerous though"...
2 seconds later..."HOOOOLLLLYYYY*****"
just Korbin things😂😂
I almost watched all your videos in a single day i.e -yesterday😊😱.
Addicted to your reaction !!!
Alright, so you walk there...what happens when a bus comes...where wil you go then 😂😂
6:38 there are no grills on road and rivers on roads because they are on altitudes where you can't breathe without medicines, machines cannot work properly because there is so less oxygen that you cannot burn fuel properly for things to work lol
One day Rick and Korbyn might decide to travel on these roads instead of wasting money in adventure parks. I bet they will love it.
Live in Uttarakhand, another part of India with dicey, narrow, unreliable roads. Everytime we have to travel it gives us anxiety a night or two before. Taking up motion sickness meds is almost a routine before traveling on these roads as the local drivers don’t even slow down a bit. Every curve makes you believe that now the vehicle is going down the hill into the river. Also there’s landslides in monsoon so another factor of fear. Life in hills is very scary because of everyday transportation.
Alternative route to the Zoji La (La means Pass), by a tunnel of eleven km is under construction.
Been there.... it's so cool! On a bike! It was a all women tour. It was so so adventurous.
I have been in these roads a few many times. It's thrilling. Love it❤️
I've been to the Zojila pass- the top 1 road in that video. it wasn't even completely winter yet so there wasn't any snow. honestly, the road is a little terrifying but I wasn't scared cause the scenery was that enticing. it totally consumes you. so much so that you barely recognize the danger. one thing. do not ride shotgun. it'll make you dizzy. : ) : ) : )
I am from the plains.and i find travel in high altitude region a humbling experience ..
I am from j&k, its really adventure for outsiders and normal for locals
Kudos to the guy who rode Nano on those roads @3:48
I've been to Ladakh via Leh-Manali Highway on a bike and Zojil Pass road from Leh to Srinagar last year! It's damn dangerous! But you should travel on a bike at least once in your life there! It's a must-visit experience!!
The drives are so talented that they drive those vehicles with “””GOOD””” speed😂😂😂😂
The western ghats connecting pune to Goa ... Oh my my and that too at 2 in morning.
We used to go there in my childhood every year for Amarnath yatra and Vaishno devi in Jammu and Kashmir from Rajasthan. Most of the roads are like this there. It's really scary.
From Himachal, travel al the time, just did Sach Pass, planning Bhara lachapass
Apart from the first one ( Sikkim zig zag ) I have driven in all other roads. All are doors to hell. One blink mistake and you will be travelling either to hell or heaven. No scope of any stop if you roll down those cliffs... I have seen passengers literally blindfolding themselves so that they won’t see down the hell slope.... now this is called breath taking in true senses
My sister went with her friends to Leh and I think on the way back they lost 2 of their friends in a landslide on the Leh-Manali road. Only 2 of the 4 people returned. It was scary to listen to the story, can't imagine what they would've gone through.
Go for Road trip on motorcycle from Delhi-Shimla-Rampur-Reckong peo-kalpa-chikul-nako-Dhankar-Tabo-Pin Valley-mudh village-kaza-Kibber-Chicham-Komic-Key Monetary-Langza-Hikkim-Manali. This route is called "Spiti Road trip" I have done this trip. Really Amazing experience. Out of world places called Moonland.
There is another road trip from Srinagar-Drass-Kargil-Leh-Jispa-Keylong-Rohtang Pass-Manali-Delhi
I am from Arunachal Pradesh and these kinda roads are absolutely normal for me cuz I am used to it since childhood ❤️
My hometown is in Uttarakhand... We have to travel from these kinda roads everytime we have to go there, so these kind of roads are pretty normal for us who belong to mountain regions ❤
