Bus Ride in the Himalayas: Just in case some have not seen this. Gives a new meaning to the term "white knuckle ride". Don't worry about the htl title; it's only about 3 min long.

Now that's a thought! Also, does not look like any turnaround spot. Can you imagine backing down :roll:

It made me smile just thinking about 'backing down' and I can't even imagine it. It was bad enough going forwards! :lol:

Went on a mildly similar one in New Zealand years ago.
Had a sign at the start: Anyone with a weak stomach or a heart condition should not go.
You wouldn't catch me on this one or Bungey jumping either.

I should have noticed that the scene did not fit the Himalayas, but I was so absorbed with the video. Watching the video made me afraid I was going over :mrgreen: .

Yeah know what you mean fer sure. That road is not the only hair raising road across that range of mountains all off em have many vehicles that have went over that are still there. Not for the faint of heart for sure.

In the last week l watched a TV program called Truckers from Hell and they drove along this road carrying 8 tonnes of building material and it was scary, they went from some little town to a dam site up in the Himalaya's, was not too bad until they met a bus coming the other way, Not for me thanks

Man what a road that must be, through the Himalaya's across an ocean and over the Ande's that cost some bucks...
