A road like that says, "I don't need to go anywhere that road leads."

No where near as hazardous, but reminds me of Rt 20 leading from I 80 into Grass Valley Ca......granite on one side, NOTHING on the other, until you hit the first tree maybe 100' down the side, with the same lack of guardrails.....

Their lives probably suck so bad that going over a cliff would be an improvement. And to the OP, you sissy, I would do that road in a Corvette like Datawiz carving up an auto cross track.

Probably looks worse than it really is. The road itself is the scary part I bet.

The waterfall could be an occasional seasonal rain event.

He does it right, and he will continue to do it right, right up until the one time he does it wrong.

"how long is this drive?"

"either 5 hours, or until we crash, whichever comes first."

The History Channel had a show for a season or two about the world's deadliest roads. The Ice Road truckers went down to a few countries and drove some god awful roads. Pucker Factor was very high.

Seems like India has more than their fair share of stupid dangerous roads. Most of which I wouldn't walk on, much less try and navigate a vehicle on. Guess everything is relevant on what you are used to, but I bet there are vehicles littered at the bottom of that thing everywhere.
