Have you ever been on a road trip? If not, then I'm sure you are missing out on a lot of stuff. We live in a country which is not only rich in culture and traditions but also in its beauty. There are the Himalayas in the north, seas in the south, deserts in the west and seven sisters in the east. And within these, there is so much to explore. 

With every twist and turn, there comes a new landscape to surprise you. Sometimes the hard and barren terrain, and in other times, the lush green ones. Ever wondered what is constant among these landscapes? The Roads. Yes! They are the constants to reach any destination, though they can be dangerous at times. But who doesn't enjoy going on dangerous rides to watch breathtaking views? 

The holiday season is heading upon us, so let this be the perfect time to go on a road trip with your friends or family and get away from all the hustle-bustle in your life. Go through this list of incredible roads and select one for your next road trip.

I'm sure that you must have dreamt of traveling on this road ever since you saw Shahid and Kareena merrily making their way through this one in the movie “Jab We Met”. This is a 479 km long highway surrounded by snow-covered lofty mountains.

2. Kinnaur Road

Located in the southwestern part of Himachal Pradesh, Kinnaur road is extremely narrow as it has been literally carved out of rocks. This road is known for its sharp twists and turns.

3. Kishtwar-Kailash, Jammu & Kashmir

I dare you to try this road only if you are big on risks and adrenaline rushes. The road has no guard rail or secure edging on its sides and is made up of just gravel, stones, and sand carved narrowly into the side of a cliff. This road is definitely not fit for the faint of heart, or novice drivers as it is also called the ‘Almost Killer’ road.

4. Zoji La

Located in the Rajgad district of Maharashtra, this road is known for its dangerous curves and turns which makes it one of the most difficult roads to drive on. The narrow width of the road even makes it more dangerous. 

The best view comes after the hardest climb, so do not miss out on these amazing road trips. Their beautiful landscapes with hills and snow all over make them worth the terror.
