Set high in western Tibet, within the Lunkar mountain range, the road to the summit is totally unpaved. It’s called Drongto tso-Ang Laren Tso road. It is a pretty challenging drive, with countless hairpin turns.
It’s a steep drive, hitting a 6% of maximum gradient through some of the ramps. A 4x4 vehicle is required, due a few river crossings. During times of rain, the river will often flood, causing the route to be unpassable.
