Many roads in India are challenging to drive on and invite many accidents throughout the year. They are the most deadly but also the most attractive landscapes with mountains and snow all over makes it worth the fear. Here is the list of top dangerous roads in India.

Khardung La Pass
Putting this in the first position on our list has two purposes. Not only is this Pass the most challenging road to travel, but it is also the most extensive drivable road in India. This route extends from the Leh region in J&K state in India to Kashgar in China. The height of the Khardung La Pass at Ladakh is approx. 5602 meters.
Kolli Hills
Kolli Hills is famously known as “The Mountain of Death”. As the name hints, these mountains in the eastern ghats are amongst the most deadly roads. Seventy consecutive hairpin curves attract many bike lovers, hikers and trekkers. You can also explore the Arappaleeswarar temple and Agaya Gangai Waterfalls in the Kolli Hills.
National Highway 22
This highway with full-of-adventure is 285 miles from Ambala district in Haryana and touches the Himalayas, furnishing excellent scenic beauty and adrenaline rush to the visitors. The bridges and tunnels on this way are in deplorable conditions, making this highway extremely prone to disastrous accidents.
Munnar
Starting from Kochi and finishing at Munnar, this 130 km scale is located on India’s Western Ghats. One of the most celebrated hill stations in South India, Munnar, is established at 1700 meters. But a road journey to Munnar is an entertaining game in itself. The narrow rings and zigzags will deliver you the terror of a lifetime.
Chang La Pass
The entrance to the Changthang plateau in the Himalayan area is at the height of 5360 meters. It is the third-highest drivable Pass in India which is loaded with snow entirely during the year. A vast amount of occurrences of choking due to breathlessness have been recorded at Chang La Pass.
Spiti Valley
This valley is home to the most remote and highest villages globally. Spiti Valley attracts many adventure lovers for a huge adrenaline rush. It is an example of a collection of hazardous roads in a gorgeous landscape. The eye-catching beauty makes it challenging to resist visiting the place despite the harsh warning.
Kinnaur Road
Kinnaur Road is another excellent drive with tremendous not-even-hidden danger. The road is made by chopping the edge of the mountains on the head of the Baspa River. This route joins the Kinnaur District in Himachal Pradesh to the other areas of the country. With a high elevation of about 4000 meters, this is another getaway for adventure seekers.
Rohtang Pass
Situated at the altitude of 3979 meters on the east of Pir Panjal Range of the Himalayas, this Pass is one of the most picturesque attractions in Manali. It travels via Leh Manali Highway and creates tremendous interest between the tourists, courtesy shooting many Bollywood movies.
Leh Manali Highway
Leh-Manali Highway is one of the best road trips among Indian youngsters from Manali in Himachal Pradesh to Leh in Jammu & Kashmir. This route gives you the ride of your dreams. This Fatal road in India is entirely worth the adventure!
Nathula Pass
Like other leading roads in India, this route is not distinct in giving the life of adventure and horror both simultaneously. Positioned on the border of India and China, Nathu La Pass makes one of the three trade links among the two countries. Access to the Pass is also tricky due to too much snow.
[…] Roads are thought to be the most impressive portion of the trips because when it comes to describing the times lived, trips make more memories than the destination itself. […]
