Rohtang Pass – Himachal Pradesh, India

Despite the fantastic views that this sky-high road in the Himachal Pradesh state offers, drivers will want to keep their focus on the road. That is because the route is in terrible condition, and many people have lost their lives. And that is why locals call it Rohtang, which literally translates to ‘pile of corpses.’

Only open to traffic between a few summer months, the snowstorms in this region are unpredictable. However, it attracts numerous tourists for its breathtaking sights. An adventure only for the most experienced drivers, the pass stretches between the Kullu Valley and the Lahaul and Spiti Valleys.
