Land cruises: Roads that will take your breath away
From mountains and valleys to coastlines and deserts, these roads will take your breath away
Curated By: Rishaad Mody
Manali to Srinagar
A must-do on any enthusiast’s wish-list, but a gruelling drive; not for the faint-hearted. The road is open only for a few months in the year, and conditions vary from super-smooth tarmac to absolutely no road at all. The severe cold and high altitude only makes this more of a challenge. But what puts this 900 km, four-day journey on our list is that it offers some of the best views of nature anywhere on this planet. Prepare to be overcome with awe for the scale and majesty of the Himalayas when you make this trip. It’s a feeling that never quite fades away, no matter how many times you return
