7. Three level Zig Zag Road



Located in Sikkim, these spiral roads make for the most scenic views. At 11,200 ft above the sea level, this road will give you the best view of the Himalayan crown. The curvy roads will send your head into a tizzy even if you’re sitting on the backseat. You need special permits to pass through, as the road is not for the faint-hearted!

8. Khardung La Pass



Under the army’s close inspection, this pass is covered with hairpin turns that will have the most seasoned drivers fearful. Khardung La Pass gives you an entrance to Nubra Valley and remains closed annually from October to May due to harsh conditions.

9. Kishtwar-Kailash Road

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/skC8u4Ok0Kg" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/skC8u4Ok0Kg</a>

In 2013, athlete Mick Fowler and his climbing partner, Paul Ramsden, documented their way through the most dangerous Kishtwar-Kailash road. The one lane path, which traverses through the newly formed J&K district, is so dangerous that it will make your GPS stop working for you. The climb is terrible, and one hasty move could land you on your deathbed.

10. Rajmachi Road



The gravelled road situated in the Sahyadris has a hustle-bustle of trekkers and bikers. The way gets slippery during the monsoons, which makes it difficult for riders to ride on it.

11. Kinnaur Road



Kinnaur road will astound you with its cliff-hanging drives and dark narrow holes. A tiny mistake, and you will splash into the Baspa river that will take no time to swallow you. The valley road remains closed during heavy snowfall. If you ever get a chance to pass through this way, please be extra careful around the dangerous Taranda dhank which is infamous for claiming lives.

12. Nathu La Pass



This pass is said to be the highest motorable road in the world. It is one of the three open trading border posts between China and India and is located 54 km east of Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim, and 430 km from Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. The road here gets blocked due to massive landslides and snow sludge, making driving a bad experience here.
