Awesome. I believe I've ridden in the back of a pickup up that Bolivian road. It seemed more than a little sketchy, but we figured back of the pickup at least afforded us the opportunity to jump at the first sign of trouble. Many of the roads I've driven on in Tibet were similar, add a driver who didn't know much about snow, lots of mud, landslides. Yup, those were sketchy. That hiking trail in China (and the road through the mountain) take the cake, though. I'm going to make a point to go see that. Thanks for the links.

Saw this on Digg the other day, pretty amazing what people will do to get from one place to the other. That Bolivian road is more mule path than road and yet it gets heavily travelled. It also reminded me of Romancing the Stone.

Great find! I love travelling to these places, but only through photos. Although, on a trip to Jamaica, we traveled through the Blue Mountains from Kingston to Port Antonio. It was very similar to North Yungas Road. Most of it was barely wide enough for 2 cars. The driver was going 60-70 mph most of the way. What do you do when you come to a blind curve? Don't slow down, just lay on the horn!!! If you hear someone honking first, then you slow down or stop. Definitely the most harrowing travel experience of my life. Thanks again for the post.

That hiking trail to the monastery should probably be taken as a hint that the residents would very much like to be left alone. Personally, I wouldn't even walk on that Bolivian nightmare, much less drive on it, no matter how much coca I had available.

The Jammu to Kashmir road in India is basically a subset of their #4. I wont ever forget being in the back of the bus to Srinigar and noticing the outside wheels hanging in space on most corners, and looking down at the occasional burnt out wreckages of buses some 1500 metres below. Driving through the main tunnel on the pass between the two states, I also wondered why there was a foot of water in the tunnel. Thankfully Iwas quite stoned, I let it all wash over me.

That Bolivian road freaked me out just looking at it. (especially the lack of guardrails) I can't imagine even being a passenger on that road, much less driving on it. It reminded me a little of the road between the Acapulco, Mexico airport and downtown Acapulco, also windy and steep and along mountains.

Some of those roads would feel right at home in BC. Likewise the cliffhanging monastery bit. The Bolivian road is nuts. Gotta agree there.

By: Mitheral

Mitheral — Sun, 17 Dec 2006 22:09:54 -0800

Lots of Forest Service roads like the Bolivian example in BC, you even get to share them with off road logging trucks (now with tridem-tridem action). There's nothing quite like driving along a road that makes a 150 degree turn around a ridge. Especially when the turn is to the right so that for the duration of the turn you basically can't see the road just a plunge 1000' down a foot from your door.

nickyskye — Sun, 17 Dec 2006 22:20:30 -0800

Interesting post. Thanks. Been down many roads like those, in India, Guatemala, Turkey, in Northern Spain. Nauseating. Cliffhanging horrors. Between Mandi and Manali (northwestern Himalayas) in the monsoon season (June 15 to September 15) is stomach knotting. Mandi to Rewalsar is also very treacherous. A friend of mine was on a bus that plumetted down the cliff on that road. She survived a crushed pelvis and months in the hospital. In the monsoon rains, boulders come flying down the mountain and land smack dab on the roofs of vehicles. Unknown potential crushing from above and possible careening into the abyss below. But the most dangerous driving (as compared with the danger of the roads), has to be on the Grand Trunk Road in Northern India. Between the bullock carts, barreling trucks, villagers who pay no mind to the vehicular traffic, flocks of animals, rickshaws, bicyclists and no traffic lights...mind bending adrenalinated hell. Stepping out of a car after a ride down that highway takes days to get over the ptsd.

Same goes for the Leh-Manali Road. I believe Lonely Planet called it "breathtaking." I believe I wanted to kill anyone and everyone associated with LP after the 129th g'night-everybody hairpin turn on a 1.25-lane dirt track at 18,000 feet with a transport truck in the inside "lane." No offence, nickyskye, but I skipped carefree down the Grand Trunk after that.

Travel agencies sell "Most Dangerous Road" bike tours on just about every street corner in La Paz. Trouble is many of them are fly-by-night operations with crappy bikes whose brakes barely work. The result: dead tourists. If you ever do it, go with these guys, who actually know what they're doing.

Oh, I'm so offended. not. lol gompa, yeah but you were most likely in the most real danger on the Grand Trunk or on an ordinary provincial road. It's just that falling off a cliff is way scarier to think about. Dang, there wasn't a Leh Manali road when I lived for four years in Manali. You're the only other MeFi I know who's been there. Here's a cute little YouTube vid of Indian driving.

I have friends who used to be guides on bike tours of Bolivia. They would usually take people down on that road. They told me that upon one occasion they had a group consisting mostly of bike couriers (close friends of my friends, who are ex-bike couriers). Being the totally sane people you expect bike couriers to be most of them started going down that road really fast, the fastest one reached something like 90 km/h on his bike on that road (I assume this was in a rather straight part of the road, otherwise he couldn't have negociated the tight turns). It didn't fully hit me how crazy it was until I saw their photos. Surprisingly nobody got hurt.

I was driving on the Georgian military highway in an old Lada spewing smoke into the cabin, and the driver turns around to me and says "You know, there were some boys from the village who drove off here once. They were drunk and they didn't see the corner. We didn't find their bodies till spring" I found it hard to feel endangered though, after all, what are the odds of an Australian dying on the Georgian military highway?

5. Most Dangerous Tourist Hiking Trail Not a car road, but the most hair-raising experience you can have on your own two legs. This is a heavy-tourist traffic area in Xian (Mt.Huashan): located close to the Great Wall of China, Suan-kun ("The Hanging Temple") Monastery. I've been to Mount Huashan, near Xian. I wouldn't call it anywhere near the Great Wall, and I don't think those pictures are from there. This smells bogus to me. Like the Russian pics, I think they're just taking admittedly neat pics from recent memes and extemporizing on them. What's next, a motorcycle tour of the Ukraine?

I have been on the Bolivian road four times. 5 hours of being terrified. It is something I never want to do gain, but am expected to once a year as my brothers family has a house in Yungas. I will never forget being in the back of a bus, on the outside window seat, backing up the road to let a truck pass on the inside--we were hanging over the edge of the road--from the windo I could see straight down to the roaring river thousands of feet below, but no road was in my view. NOT FUN!

Cycling down the road from La Paz to Coroico is a must if you're about that part of the world. You start off in the freezing snow capped mountains, and end up in the lush rainforest, all in a days freewheeling (and a little bit of an ascent at high altitude). Hire a bike, hold on tight and don't look down!

I think it was TLC that had a program about that road in Bolivia. Somehow a bunch of tourists paying to ride down it just for the thrill seems wrong when dozens of Bolivians are forced to do it daily just to make a living. Cheap holidays in other peoples misery indeed.

There are some crazy "roads" in Nepal as well. The road to Besisahar (sp) is a road in name only, and its the only route to the most popular trekking path (the Annapurna Loop) in Nepal. Driver broke a spring going over a gigantic rock when I was there. They got out and rather blithely put a brace on it and continued on. Crazy, long ride.

Totally Zanzibarin' Ya writes "Heh, try driving through Rogers Pass in British Columbia in winter in a blizzard." The Coquihalla is worse in many ways. Not only IMO are winter conditions much quicker to change and worse over all. Because it is a freeway people tend to do the limit until they fall off the road. I mean what kind of idiot passes a plow clearing 12" of snow? Crazy right? You see it all the time on the Coquihalla. And they make you pay for the privilege of driving it. And the Kicking Horse Canyon is more Bolivia like (though at least two real lanes) with extreme, lightly guarded drop offs, medium twistys, and 8% grades with a tight 70 degree turn at the bottom onto a bridge. And you get the added bonus of Mountain Sheep and Goats crossing the highway twice each morning and evening. Plus avalanches in the winter and rock falls in the summer.

Yeah, I've been on some of those mountain roads in Northern India (Ladakh, Leh). In addition to the precipitous drop-offs, the buses actually ford mountain streams. Also, they have poetry on the side of the road, for the benefit of reckless drivers: "I yearn for my lost lover/Speeding, he went in the river". Also, for the record, there is no road from Kathmandu to Everest Base Camp, and even if there were, it wouldn't be in Tibet.

Here I thought Gold Camp Road (from CO Springs to Cripple Creek) was going to be mentioned. It's the most dangerous road I've been on (before the tunnel collapse and being closed to motor vehicles). It can't hold a candle to most of these. But I loved that the wooden beams in one of the tunnels had signs posted on it: "DO NOT CHOP FOR FIREWOOD."

It is something I never want to do gain, but am expected to once a year as my brothers family has a house in Yungas. So this visit, it's worth dying for? My last trip over the Rockies in winter, on the Trans-Canada, was so harrowing that I have firmly resolved to never-fucking-ever do it again. I've mentioned it before in MeFi, so I won't bother with details again. Suffice to say that it put a whole new perspective on the value of visiting family.

As for the Coq, I haven't had a truly horrifying experience on it. It has the benefit of being a split four-lane most (all?) of the way, so there are very few times one needs to worry about oncoming traffic or making room for the asshole semitruck driver to pass. OTOH, it does get some mighty extreme weather. It would be entirely possible to end up stuck for several days, especially with the lousy job Argo is doing of maintaining it.

Also, my fellow Canadians, I know the Trans-Canada over Rogers Pass. I've driven it many times in every kind of weather en route to the in-laws in the deepest Kootenays. Rogers Pass, I can assure you, is not even the same genre of extreme transport as the Leh-Manali Road or the other Third World death traps documented in the link. For one thing, and I can't stress this enough, it's paved. Also plowed and policed. They close it when the conditions are sufficiently treacherous. And it's wide enough, at least in theory, for the traffic it carries.

And as somewhat grisly sidenote to those roads in Nepal and India, the buses that travel those roads are often (if not always) insanely overpacked - people hanging off the sides, riding on top with their goats and chickens, etc. When they crash, the toll in lives and injuries is horrific, as evidenced by the many many shrines found along the routes. I imagine the same is true for all of the roads and tracks mentioned above.

I want to smack the people who bike down the Bolivia road. But, how much would you pay to smack people who bike down the Bolivian road? I'd be happy to host tours; those who want to go biking, line up to the left. Those who want to smack, line up to the right. I'll use at least 10% of my profits to build a functional road for Bolivians who actually need to get someplace.

We barely missed going down one of the huge drops to the canyon below only because there was snow piled up along the sides of the road. I hate hate hate going along the Coq in winter.
