Beautiful ride to killar kishtwar road,
World’s Most Dangerous Road between Kishtwar and Killar. The road is so narrow that only one vehicle can pass at a time with numerous steep inclines and declines. This road gives access into Pangi Valley of Himachal Pradesh. The road is full of rocks, loose soil, etc, on one side there is 1000 feet freefall into the river Chandrabhaga and deadly mountain cliff hanging on other. The road condition is never constant, it sees many landslides. One mistake and it can turn out to be disaster. This road is featured into many travel forums as “One of the most Dangerous Roads in the World”.
It's a narrow, windy road with no guard rail or secure edging for about 100 miles, with views of the valley thousands of feet below.
The road is part of the National Highway 26, running along the Chenab river. It’s incredibly disorienting to look over the edge, or even just to see the valleys a couple thousand feet below you. It’s a mind numbing vertical drop of hundreds of meters so you might want to give it a miss on a windy day. The surface of the road is gravel, stones and sand and it’s carved into the side of a cliff. The one lane path had no guard rail and the overhanging cliff .The road is in dreadful condition and requires strong nerves to negotiate it.
The road is the main gateway to the basecamp of Kishtwar Kailash, a 6.451m mountain. To reach this trail, you can arrive to this area from the west, taking the road over the Rohtang Pass from Manali to the Chenab Valley and then following the Darlang Valley to the base of the mountain. The climb is simply terrible, with a notorius lack of oxygen that tests the organisms and a high degree of steepness. The area has been more or less closed to mountaineers for political reasons since the early 1990s. Residents of the Valley welcomed the opening of the road, as it represented a huge boost to commerce and tourism in the region whose dangerous, hard-to-travel terrain meant the area was cut off from tourism and other forms of economic development. The last 50km of road to the start of the ascent proved to be extremely scary. Words can’t describe the road and pictures don’t do it justice. Some tourists had dubbed the track the 'Almost Killer' Road.
It’s one of the most dangerous, scary, and exciting road of the world and a true test of your vehicle and your stamina because the road abounds in twists and turns with wheels sometimes hanging above the precipice. The road starts in Killar, in the Lahaul and Spiti district in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, at an elevation of 2.524 m (8,280 ft) above the sea level, and ends in Kishtwar, in the Kishtwar District of the Jammu region, a town at an elevation of 1,638 m (5,374 ft) above the sea level.
This track can get very muddy and slippery after rain making it challenging to get through. During and after a storm the road may be impassable. The Border Roads Organization and J&K State PWD have done a brilliant job by constructing roads in the middle of nowhere. A record number of people have sacrificed their lives to make this road a reality.
Some of the turns are crazy with plenty of blind-spots. Snowfall can leave the valley in complete isolation.
