Ladakh’s Chisumle-Demchok Road is now the highest motorable road in the world when it crosses the Umling Pass. Its highest point is situated over 19,000 feet above sea level, making it a remarkable accomplishment. Several such roads have already been built by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), which boasts of connecting some of the toughest border areas and terrains in the country.<\/p>\n
#1.<\/strong> This 52-kilometer road in Ladakh<\/a>, reputed to be the world’s highest motorable road, connects some of the most important parts of the region. At 19,300 feet, the 52-km long tarmac road in Eastern Ladakh crosses the Umlingla Pass,<\/strong> making it the world’s highest motorable road.<\/p>\n #2.<\/strong> The road is higher than Bolivia’s Uturuncu volcano road at 18,953 feet. The breathtaking high altitude of 19,300 feet makes this road in Ladakh a Guinness Book of World Records entry!<\/p>\n #3. <\/strong>There are many important towns in the Chumar sector of Eastern Ladakh that are connected to India by road.<\/p>\n #4.<\/strong> According to the authorities, it is higher than Everest Base Camp. This road is higher than even Mount Everest’s base camps, as the South Base Camp in Nepal<\/a> is 17,598 feet high and Tibet’s North Base Camp is 16,900 feet.<\/p>\n #5.<\/strong> Additionally, this road surpasses the altitude of the Siachen Glacier, which is also believed to be the world’s highest, deadliest, and most costly battlefield.<\/p>\n #6.<\/strong> Since the region is very close to the Indo-China border, the road is an important alternative to the other direct route connecting Chisumle and Demchok.<\/p>\n In August, the Ministry of Defense addressed the challenges of constructing a road in a harsh and challenging environment. During winter, the temperature almost dropped to -40 degrees Celcius and the oxygen level was almost half as high as it typically is in normal places.<\/p>\n ..And we reached the last milestone over the Mighty Umling La Pass by constructing the World’s Highest motorable road.<\/p>\n The National Flag unfurls with Pride and Elan, telling the world – \u0938\u093e\u0930\u0947 \u091c\u0939\u093e\u0902 \u0938\u0947 \u0905\u091a\u094d\u091b\u093e \u0939\u093f\u0902\u0926\u094b\u0938\u094d\u0924\u093e\u0928 \u0939\u092e\u093e\u0930\u093e pic.twitter.com\/OQyNFmUo3S<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 (@BROindia) August 2, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
