sconsults: i have driven through that road in pakistan in 2007 from tato village through a bridge which i cant remember down into eastern pakistan and then through the srikanpa trail down to northern india where i distributed my merchandise .i did this because the road is closes in winter so no police or border patrol or anyone at all is present then.it is one of the most profitable journey you can make and also very dangerous although not as dangerous as the journey from afganistan through iran,azerbaijan to turkey off goverment road
Ouch!!!! Bros you dey try o!

Wow! The closest example I know here in Nigeria is the road that leads from Abeokuta to Imeko. Death Trap.

There is need for echo of 'Safe Journey' before any one proceeds on any journey on those roads. Some places are supposed to uninhabitable. It shows how tiny humans are in comparison to the cosmos. I dare say that there are nude human species in some valleys that are yet to be discovered.

The Alaskan road is the most beautiful - but really scary with the sea of ice on both sides.

But it does look like the road to heaven sha cheesy
Re: World's Most Dangerous Roads (photos) by nas00(m): 12:17pm On Nov 03, 2012
Believe me, Nigeria has got a road that falls into this eerie category.

The long, tortuous, and very steep ascent into Mambilla Plateau from Gashaka in Taraba State will absolutely take your breath away. Infact, first timers are strictly advised to hire a driver familiar with the terrain at Gashaka before embarking on the ascent, because once any vehicle falls into the bottomless gorges, not a single body can be retrieved. Na auto burial be that!

..And for the records, Mambilla plateau is the highest point above sea level in nigeria.

i arrived obudu ranch at night, i wonder how scary it would have been if it was during the day. the driver was checking and confirming the brakes before we started up and i was like wow! do i really want to do this with whole family in the same car? grin grin grin funny enough kids loved the turn around as you go up or down.

I feel you bro. I took a number of pictures when I went on a tour of Mambilla last year. Sadly, lost them all to a recent hard disk crash sad

Scouring the internet but haven't found pictures of the steeps.

my first day in ranch was during my NYSC in Obudu. Na that day I know say God na Baba. We took a bike from Obudu lg secrtariate straight to ranch. When we got there, cable car wasn't working so the bike man voluntared to carry us up ranch. Very close to that "devil's elbow", there comes a car that seems not to care about other road user. That silly driver nearlly nocked us off the clif o. Na there the journey on okada stopped o. The rest of the journey got to be trecked. No be small thing
