What are the most spectacular roads in Nepal?

Set high in the Himalayas, Nepal is home to the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest. The country is very mountainous, and so are most of the roads in the country, climbing up to stunning elevations. So, when traveling to Nepal, get ready to experience countless 4x4 adventures like never before. Most of them are very risky, so you’ll need to drive carefully. You can start with the Manang Road, a dangerous drive leading to Manang, a small mountain town at an elevation of 3,776m (12,388ft) above sea level, located in Gandaki Province.

Bordered by China and India, the country covers an area of 147,516 square kilometers. Nepal is known for its mountainous terrain, with eight of the world's ten highest peaks located within its borders. Due to the difficult topography of the country, many roads are very dangerous: the amazing BP Highway, where you have to be careful as the road with sharp turns is pretty narrow; Arniko Highway, the road where ‘one mistake, game over,’ that provides Nepal’s overland link with Tibet and China; or the Karnali Highway, a true lethal adventure. Due to its danger, the police have banned driving at night on this road due to the high number of fatal accidents. The landscape is characterized by deep valleys, glaciated peaks, and fast-flowing rivers
