If you think your daily commute is stressful, wait until you hear about these roads.
Some paths around the world are so scary and dangerous that they could make even the bravest drivers sweat.
🏞️ 1. North Yungas Road, Bolivia – The “Death Road”
This road isn’t called the “Death Road” for nothing.
Stretching about 40 miles through the Bolivian mountains, it’s known for its narrow paths, sharp curves, and terrifying drops of up to 2,000 feet.
To make things worse, fog and landslides are common here.
Even with guardrails added in recent years, it’s still one of the most dangerous roads on Earth.
Adventurous bikers love the thrill, but one wrong move can be deadly.
🌊 2. Atlantic Ocean Road, Norway – The Disappearing Road
This road in Norway looks like something out of a movie.
With curves that rise and dip over the ocean, it feels like you’re driving on water.
The real danger comes during storms when giant waves crash over the bridges, making it seem like the road might disappear any second.
While the views are stunning, it’s not a drive for the faint-hearted.
🌄 3. Guoliang Tunnel Road, China – The Road Carved in a Cliff
Imagine driving through a tunnel with windows looking straight out into a cliffside drop.
That’s the Guoliang Tunnel Road in China.
Carved by villagers using only hand tools, this tunnel stretches about 0.8 miles and is just wide enough for one vehicle.
With no barriers and sheer drops, it’s both amazing and terrifying. One wrong turn, and it’s game over.
🏔️ 4. Killar to Pangi Road, India – The Cliffhanger
This road in India is no joke.
Dug into the side of a mountain with no guardrails and crumbling edges, it’s a real-life cliffhanger.
Only about 70 miles long, the road is full of blind turns and loose rocks.
Local drivers know the route well, but for anyone else, it’s a white-knuckle ride all the way.
🏜️ 5. Skippers Canyon Road, New Zealand – The Insurance Nightmare
This road is so risky that most rental car companies in New Zealand won’t cover you if you drive on it.
Carved by miners during the gold rush, Skippers Canyon Road is narrow, winding, and has no room for mistakes.
If you meet a car coming the other way, good luck, someone has to back up until there’s a spot to pass.
