Leh-Manali Highway (Himachal Pradesh)

This route takes you across the stunning Himalayan ranges under icy conditions and high altitudes.

Khardung La (Ladakh)

At an altitude of 18,379 feet, Khardung La isn’t for everyone.

Rohtang Pass (Himachal Pradesh)

Linking Manali to Leh, Rohtang Pass can get very treacherous in winter with snow blocking the way and making conditions unpredictable.

Zoji La Pass (Jammu & Kashmir)

This high pass connects Srinagar and Leh and is known as one of India’s most dangerous roads.

Spiti Valley Road (Himachal Pradesh)

The road to Spiti Valley is quite remote and conditions can get tough in winter due to snow and freezing temperatures.

Nathu La Pass (Sikkim)

Situated on the Indo-China border, Nathu La is one of the highest passes in the Eastern Himalayas.

Manali-Leh Highway (Himachal Pradesh to Ladakh)

This road connects Manali to Leh and offers beautiful scenery, but it's closed during winter due to heavy snowfall.

The Sinhagad Road (Maharashtra)

Not as high as other roads on this list, but Sinhagad Road near Pune gets tricky in winter due to fog, landslides, and sharp curves.
