Dicing with Death - Nepal: Condemned to Drive

The Karnali Highway in northwest Nepal is the most dangerous stretch of road in the country. Cut out of the mountains, the 250 km road ascends 3,000 metres into the Himalayans. It’s the sole lifeline supplying vital supplies to inhabitants of the poorest region of Nepal. We follow the fortunes of those who, willingly or not, have to use this ‘impossible’ road. Drivers, travellers and merchants, the highway remains the fastest, if not the safest, way to get around in this mountainous region.
