Strange and different roads around the world

Himalayan Roads, India and Tibet


These roads are built right into the Himalayan Mountains, which pretty much tells you all you need to know about how dangerous they are. However, if you do travel along these roads, you’ll get a great view and possible spot some rare birds, like Himalayan griffons or golden eagles!

Halsema Highway, Philippines


At its highest point, the Halsema Highway is 7,400 feet above sea level, and prone to mudslides and landslides. This is why it’s particularly recommended to avoid this road during the rainy season (June through September).

Stelvio Pass, Italy


At over 9,000 feet, this is one of the highest mountain passes of the Easter Alps. Despite this, it also has a fairly high amount of traffic, which means you should be even more careful as you worm your way up and down the mountains.
