20. Br-116 (Brazil)

19. Commonwealth Avenue (Philippines)

Commonwealth Avenue is popularly known as “Killer Highway”, and is located at Quezon city in the Philippines. Nature and structure do not interfere here.

18. A537 (Britain)

This road is also known as the “Widow Maker”. This is the most dangerous road of Britain, which caused 44 fatal crashes between 2007-11. This asphalted road represents unacceptable risk to the travelers. The lethal but beautiful road is famous for its natural scenery – but the 7.5 miles long road is no less than a trap.  Now it’s creating its fame for killing.

17. James Dalton Highway (Alaska, USA)

A 400 miles death road. Why? No hospital, no police station, no food supply, no one to help nearby. You are all your own. No habitation either. Not frightened? There is water beneath the road, and it breaks every now and then, taking lives.

16. North Yungas Road (Bolivia)

Drive your muscle car with fantasy and the curves will take you to an unbeatable skydive. This Bolivian road is built cutting the edges of the mountain. The best trick for driving there is to stick to the cliff side. Bike riding will be a nice choice. But whatever you choose, watch out for dust and trucks.

15. Patiopoulo-Perdikaki Road (Greece)

The 28.8 km road is situated in the north-eastern Greece. This might be the most dangerous road in the country. It’s definitely not suitable for tourist or for a fun drive. Even the most experienced driver can shiver in fear sometimes for its slippery corners. The road becomes even more deadly in the rain – you slip, you go 824 meters down.

14. Sichuan – Tibet Highway

The 2.14 KM elevated road connects China with Tibet. Green beauty. But it’s just the outside. Climate changes with the height and time. So does the route. 15 days of driving and deadly beauty can make cross the road and take you to the roof of the world. But still it’s a regular truck road.

13. Luxor-al-Hurghada Road (Egypt)

A lonely road in Egypt. Generally climates, hills and slides make troubles for drivers. But in this case, the situation is different. You can overcome some natural hazards, but after dark, you won’t dare to turn on your headlights because there are bandits who will attack your vehicle.

12. Kabul-Jalalabad Highway (Afghanistan)

A road with the most strategic importance. It facilitates trade, emergency aid and the return of afghan refugees. A real challenging road testing your vehicle and stamina. It is framed by vertical rocks 2,000 feet above the Kabul River. Dangerous curves, rockslips challenge your skills and patience.

11. Guoliang Tunnel Road (China)

Beautiful, isn’t it? Made by 13, used by thousands. This road is situated in China and it’s cut in the mountain cliffs. It has rocky windows too. The ups and downs become more dangerous during monsoon. Want to visit with a sports car? It will be a splendid chance to meet your great grandpa.

10. Trans Siberian Road (Russia)

Stretching a distance of 11,000 kilometres, this is one of the world’s longest route. The main problem here is the lenght of the road. Its unique location makes the driver to get prepared to face any condition. The newly opened trans-siberian highway is a glimpse at how globalization gone wild.

9. Stelvio Pass (Italy)

The great Italian pass bordering Switzerland stands at a height of 2.757 km. It’s an interesting road for daredevil bikers. Every year on the last saturday of August or first saturday of September, the government organizes a Bike Day. Just slide down, but not with speed. Or you will go Up instead of going Down.

8. Le Passage du Gois (France)

This french road connects Noirmoutier island to the mainland of France. 4 km NATURALLY MADE long slippery road sinks into sea during high tide. You can safely travel only when there’s low tide or else you will get cold, salty splashes of ROGUE wave. Watch out for the waves!

7. Karakoram Highway (China-Pakistan)

Standing between Pakistan and China, this road is probably the highest road in the world. Like in the case of the Guoliang tunnel, many people died building this road. But sadly this is not a well planned road running through mountains and canyons. High altitude and barrierless landslides makes it one of the most dangerous ones.

6. Pasubio (Italy)

The Pasubio is in Northern Italy. This 6 km long and 2 km elevated road is also known as the ”Road of 52 Tunnels”. Driving is a true challenge here. However, it is restricted to enter vehicles, but it has not stopped the thrill lovers. Bike is a great choice to hang around. Tunnels are the best attractions here.

5. The Zojila Pass (India)

Over 11,500 ft above, without protective measures. This terrifying pass stands in India, a route between “Ladakh” and “Kashmir”. It may be killer because of the landslides but also a lifeline of “Ladakh”. Don’t dare to pass it in winter. The cold and slippery ice drains life in a blink.

4. Karnali Highway (Nepal)

In west Nepal near Jumla airport, this road stands with its own challenges. As the airport is located in the mountains, it is the only road to reach it even though its deadly. The scariest fact is, it’s totally made of dirt. So, easy to imagine how it can cause around 60 casualties every year during monsoon.3. Ruta 5 (Chile)

The Atacama desert is one of the driest deserts in the world. Ruta 5 just goes through it. No petrol pump, no service, no water. Can you imagine what can happen once you get stuck with your vehicle? If that is not enough, a sudden fog or desert storm can drive one off the road.

2. Colorado’s Million Dollar Highway (USA)

This US route passes three 10,000 feet mountains and winds across steep cliffs and sharp curves. Folkers say an early traveller said, “You’d have to pay a million dollar to travel the road again.” Driving in a 10,000 feet height could be breathtaking. Speed is a nightmare for you on this road.

1. The Nanga Parbat Pass (Pakistan)

This 25 kilometres long insane track is wild enough to sink a traveller into oblivion. It is locally known as “Diamer” or “Fairy Meadows Road” and is the ninth highest mountain in the world situated in Pakistan. It’s 8.126 km higher than sea level. It is enough to hold back a tip top rider. For extension, it is the western anchor of The Himalayas.
