What are the most spectacular roads in Nepal?
Set high in the Himalayas, Nepal is home to the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest. The country is very mountainous, and most roads of the country climb up to stunning elevations. So, when travelling to Nepal, get ready to live never ending 4x4 adventures like never before. Most of them are very risky, so you need to drive carefully: Manang Road is a dangerous drive leading to Manang, a small mountain town at an elevation of 3,776m (12,388ft) above sea level, in Gandaki Province.
Bordered by China and India, the country covers an area of 147,516 square kilometers. Nepal is known for its mountainous terrain, with eight of the world's ten highest peaks located within its borders. Due the topography of the country, many roads are very dangerous: The amazing BP Highway, where you have to be careful as the road, with sharp bends, is narrow; Arniko Highway, the road known as One mistake, game over, providing Nepal’s overland link with Tibet and China. Or Karnali Highway, a true lethal adventure. Due its dangerousness, the police have banned driving at nights on this road due the high number of fatal accidents. The landscape is characterized by deep valleys, glaciated peaks, and fast-flowing rivers.
