Killar kishtwar Road | world most dangerous roads in india | part 2 | hero xpulse 200 | B R O

From killar kishtwar road....
“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.
........Towards paddar valley .....
This dangerous road journey has a length of 65 kms from kishtwar to paddar. It is a total adventure in itself. I came across narrow stretches, waterfalls, blind turns, which makes it perfect for off-roading travel. This road leads to the famous holy "Machail Yatra" Which commences in the month of August every year..
.......Paddar valley...
Paddar, also spelled 'Padar' is a remote valley in the Kishtwar district of the Union Territory Jammu and Kashmir in northern India.The valley covers the entire northeast portion of the Kishtwar district. It borders Zanskar (Ladakh) in the North, Pangi in the East and Marwah-Wadwan in the West. The valley is known for its sapphire mines.It lies along the Chenab River basin in the Greater Himalayas. Paddar is among the most remote regions of Jammu and Kashmir. There are various sub valleys within Paddar, such as Machail, Ghandari, Kabban, Ongai, Bhuzunu, Barnaj, Bhuzas, Kijai Nallah, and Dharlang, among others.
Paddar Valley is connected to the rest of India by the Keylong-Tandi-Killar-Gulabgarh-Kishtwar road.
