Summer is here and what better way to spend this time than by going on an adventurous trip. And when it comes to an adventurous road trip, you might probably be imagining a ride through the forest but we’ve something more enthralling than that!
A few months back, a video of a truck carrying tourists along a cliffside road flooded with a giant waterfall on the way to Manang went viral on YouTube. This road has now been enlisted as one of the most dangerous roads all over the world.

The frightening road is located on the way from Manang to Besisahar in the Annapurna region. The area is very popular among the mountaineers and there was nothing but an old mule trail until a few years ago when the road was finally paved.
The road was in normal condition but during the spring thaw, the water fall overflowed onto the roadway, making it look like a rustling river that can float away anything, even a car or a jeep. Due to the water force, the safety barriers along the road have also been destroyed but the local drivers and local people are not much bothered by it.
In the video, the driver seems pretty chilled out despite the giant waterfall pouring down and the dangerously steep slopes right next to the narrow road.
