The top 10 Scariest most dangerous and challenging roads in the world

These roads demand the ultimate in driving dexterity, and have become infamous for their sheer drops, narrow passes, rough conditions and unforgiving terrain.
So whether you want to plan your next expedition or just freak yourself out, here are 10 of the most difficult, dangerous and crazy roads to traverse on the planet.

10. Austrian Road, Kazakhstan

A road that joins Kazakhstan to Austria? Think again. This 37-mile road is named after the Austro-Hungarian prisoners of war responsible for its construction between 1915 and 1917.

The track takes drivers from the 990-metre-high Bukhtarma Valley up to the 2,137-metre-high Burkhatskiy Pass in Eastern Kazakhstan.

The shoddy route, forged using picks and shovels, meanders through a national park, offering incredible views of the Kara-Koba River.

Don’t spend too long gazing out of the window though, dilapidated bridges regularly fall into disrepair, making the route frequently impossible.

If you’re lucky(?) enough to attempt a drive with all crossings intact, be sure to check the weather forecast to avoid potentially deadly landslides, which have been known to strike with little to no warning.

9. Route 622 (Svalvogar Road), Iceland

The 13-mile Route 622 offers stunning views of Northwestern Icelandic coastline, including the Dýrafjördur and Arnarfjördur fjords.

Precariously carved under towering cliffs, the Svalvogar Road links Thingeyri and Lokinhamrar across a region prone to avalanches, heavy snowfall, strong winds and landslides. Expect unpaved roads, steep drops, and the loose surface of a narrow, rocky track.

A 4x4 with high ground clearance will help you with some of the challenges along the way, but be careful not to take a trip on this road too lightly. Conditions are so bad between November and April that the route is completely closed.





8. Taroko Gorge Road, Taiwan

Taroko means ‘magnificent and splendid’ in the aboriginal Truku tribe’s language - words meant for the views of the national park, rather than your driving experience.

The gorge road is made up of a series of tunnels carved into a mountain along the ‘Taiwanese Grand Canyon’, connecting the east and west coast of the country through sharp turns, narrow paths and blind curves.

In 2012, a driver and 13 tourists were lucky to escape with their lives when their bus failed to climb an incline in the road. Their vehicle rolled backwards hitting one of the few barriers and fell down a slope, causing injury to the passengers within.

The frequent earthquakes and typhoons that lead to rock falls may also complicate your journey along this truly treacherous route:

7. Engineer Pass, USA




Colorado is home to The Rockies, a mountainous region where Engineers Pass can be found 3,901 metres (12,800 ft) above sea level.

Frequent avalanches, heavy snowfall and landslides make dodging patches of ice along the way seem a breeze by comparison.

Tragically, just this year a motorcyclist plunged from the scenic route and lost his life. Many of us dream of an American road trip, but this one would only be advisable if you have a narrow 4-wheel drive vehicle plus the skill and focus demanded by this dangerous route.





6. Zoji La Pass, India

Vertigo sufferers look away now. The Zoji La Pass, or Zozila Pass as it’s sometimes known, can be found 3,528 metres (11,575 ft) up in the Himalayas.

The road connects the people of Ladakh to Kashmir Valley via a one-lane trail, which hugs some of the tallest mountains in the world.

Zoji La is often covered in snow, anywhere between 15 and 24 metres deep, which takes the Border Roads Organisation in the region up to two months to clear.

In 2009, clearing efforts couldn’t prevent the need to rescue 350 people stranded on the road thanks to heavy snowfall. Worse still, in 2012, 11 tourists were killed as their vehicle skidded off the barrier-less pass into a deep gorge.
