6Zoji La Pass, India
Located in the Indian Himalayas, Zoji La Pass is one of the most dangerous mountain roads in the world. The pass connects the Kashmir Valley with Ladakh and sits at an elevation of approximately 11,575 feet. The road is narrow and often treacherous, particularly during the winter months when heavy snowfall makes the pass nearly impassable. Landslides and rockfalls are common, and the lack of guardrails adds to the danger. Despite these challenges, Zoji La Pass remains a crucial lifeline for the region, and locals traverse it regularly with remarkable skill and bravery.
