Stock Photo Description: Stock Photo of World's Most Dangerous Road. This gravel road is just that: it's narrow (just over 3.2m wide) and has precipitous cliffs up to 600m... and there's traffic. At the time of research, eight people (higher figures sometimes quoted) have died doing the 64km trip (with a 3600m vertical drop) and readers have reported close encounters and nasty accidents. Most of these are due to little or no instruction and preparation, and poor quality mountain bikes (beware bogus rebranded bikes). Multilingual guides are necessary for coaching and control. Ask agencies for proof of rescue equipment (rope rescue, harnesses, belays, oxygen), and a predeparture briefing. Taken March 2005.
