Risky Road Trips
Nothing feels as good as a road trip; beautiful views, restful days, discovering new places, all of these combine in a harmonious unison to lift your spirits. But maybe you’re the sort of strange cookie who finds that a tad boring. You prefer your panoramic views with a few spoons of hair-raising adrenalin.

Dangerous Road in the world

What makes a road an adventure? Narrow gravel tracks perched precipitously on mountainsides certainly up the ante. As do roads so far away from civilization that taking survival supplies is mandatory. Then there are routes that you must time right, or you’ll wish you’d taken a boat instead.

Rohtang Pass, India
Risk: landslides

Rohtang Pass, India

The Rohtang sits at about 4,000m over India. It’s only open from May to November and is so dangerous the Government of India is building an 8.8km tunnel as an alternative.

Zojila Pass, India 
Risk: altitude, livestock

Zojila Pass, India

Dodge livestock in India. This strisp of rock is not the place for a Sunday drive. It’s better suited to a Mars Rover than any manned vehicle. It is 9km long, about 3,500m above sea level and provides an important link between Ladakh and Kashmir.

Yungas Road, Bolivia
Risk: going off the edge

Yungas Road, Bolivia

The very good news about this dirt road is that you don’t have to take it. Back in the ’90s before an alternative and safer road was built, it was identified as the most extremely dangerous road in the world. Only thrill-seeking adventurers use it now. The thin road climbs jungle-clad mountains to a height of 4,650m, winding and turning all the while with nauseatingly deep canyons below.

Dalton Highway, Alaska
Risk: Get food and survival supplies (compulsory)

Dalton Highway, Alaska

Feel like getting away from civilization? Then this is the highway for you. Few roads in the world offer the degree of isolation as The James W. Dalton Highway. Make sure you pack plenty of supplies because there are only three villages along this 666km road through the wilderness. Linking Fairbanks and oil fields to the north, huge trucks are its main traffic. Giving them right of way is one of road rules; the other is taking survival supplies and knowing how to use them.

Guoliang Tunnel Road, China
Risk: tight driving

Guoliang Tunnel Road, China

Probably one the most famous tunnels in the world, the 1.2km long, 4m wide Guoliang Tunnel Road requires monk-like focus to drive. Even one mistake, locals say, means big trouble in little China.

Tianmen Mountain Road, China
Risk: The Picture says it all!

Tianmen Mountain Road, China

Located in China’s fantasy world-like Tianmen Mountain National Park, this road has 99 bends as it winds 11km up to an elevation of 1,300m.

Passage de Gois, France
Risk: does your car have a snorkel?

Passage de Gois, France

Take your truck for a swim in France. Pack an inflatable boat for driving this 4.3km road because just say for some crazy reason you mix up the tide times, then – like vehicles in the past – you might disappear beneath the salty brine. Located on France’s Atlantic coast, the road floods twice daily with incoming tides and as the tides go out slippery seaweed is left all over it.

Karakoram Highway, Pakistan
Fun fact: Highest paved road in the world

Karakoram Highway, Pakistan

It's the road to paradise – if you like exploring the mountains, that is. It's also the road David Lama took on his way to climb Masherbrum, regarded as one of the world's hardest alpine climbs.
