Year-round
Pereval Sasivordovon is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 3.366m (11,043ft) above the sea level, located in Namangan Region in the southern part of the Fergana Valley in far eastern part of Uzbekistan.
The road to the summit is gravel, rocky, tippy and bumpy at times. It’s called R-124. The road is usually impassable from October to June (weather permitting). Great trail for experienced wheelers. Avoid driving in this area if unpaved mountain roads aren't your strong point. 4x4 vehicle required. Your wheels will be astounded at the wonderful views of the mountains spread out before you! They are terrible for drivers who are prone to vertigo. The road is very steep. You'll feel like leaning into the car and away from the edge. Drive with care as this is a mountain road with hairpin curves and dangerous dropoffs. The pass is usually open from May through November.

moderate210 Provincial Road: not even the most beautiful photos can do the road justice
🇨🇳 China
Get ready for an epic road trip through the Jiajin Mountains in western Sichuan, China! 210 Provincial Road is calling your name, and trust me, you want to answer. This incredible stretch of pavement clocks in at 193 km, winding its way from Feixianguanzhen (a cozy 1,018m above sea level) up to Daweixiang (at a cool 2,917m). Brace yourself for hairpin turns galore – they’re endless! But it’s all worth it because the views are absolutely breathtaking. You’ll be treated to stunning vistas of the Jinjiashan Scenic Area and the snaking Donghe River below. The road peaks at an incredible 4,102m (that's 13,458ft!), offering panoramic views you won't forget. Keep in mind that at such an altitude, snow can close the road anytime. Plus, heavy mist is common, so be extra cautious if visibility drops.

🌍 Arabian Peninsula
Okay, picture this: you're in Oman, right? Specifically, Ad Dākhilīyah. You're heading to Qiyut, a super cool little town perched way up high—we're talking almost 2,000 meters! Now, getting there? That's where the fun REALLY begins. Forget smooth highways, because the road is a wild, winding, and rocky 22km track that climbs from just a few hundred meters above sea level. Prepare for some steep climbs and hairpin turns. But hey, the views? Totally worth it. Just keep your eyes on the road — it's a bit of an adventure!
extremeHawz e Wighnaan
🌍 Afghanistan
Wighnaan pool is a high mountain reservoir at an elevation of 2.600m (8,530ft) above the sea level, located in Takhar Province, northern Afghanistan. It’s definitely not for anyone suffering from vertigo or a fear of landslides. One mistake and it's a free fall to your death. In many places the road is bordered by a drop of hundreds of meters (many hundreds of feet) unprotected by guardrails. The gravel road to the lake is pretty narrow and steep. Drivers must remain cautious as the pass has been known to claim the lives of careless drivers. It’s certainly breathtaking and it has a fearsome reputation. If you do choose this route please check up to date information due to the security situation. Obviously you would have to really (!) check what is going on now. You might want to contact your embassy in Kabul as they have really the best info about terrorist attacks, ongoing armed conflict, risk of kidnapping and high crime rate. The road links the small villages of Warsaj and Aspogh. Stay away if you're scared of heights. Drive with care as this is a mountain road with dangerous dropoffs. You might want to take this into consideration if you have passengers that don't like heights. Be prepared, this road is not for the faint of heart or ill prepared. One mistake can have serious consequences. Road suggested by: Hugh Wilson Embark on a journey like never before!

moderateTientsuwa Shan Pass
🇨🇳 China
Okay, adventure seekers, listen up! Tientsuwa Shan Pass, or Jianziwan Mountain Pass if you prefer, sits way up high in China's Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. We're talking 4,455 meters (14,616 feet) high! You'll find it along the legendary 318 National Road, also known as the Tibet-Sichuan highway, connecting Litang and Yajiang. Now, this isn't your Sunday drive. This road is a beast! It's long and tough, snaking through seriously remote areas. Be prepared for a serious workout, both for you and your vehicle! The air is thin, the climbs are steep, and while the road is paved, it can get pretty rough, especially as you descend. Heading east? Get ready for a seemingly endless downhill run with hairpin turns galore, winding through valleys covered in beautiful forests. Approaching from the west? Buckle up for a constant rollercoaster ride through gorgeous alpine scenery. Just a heads-up: this area is prone to heavy mist, so visibility can be a real issue. Definitely avoid this road in bad weather!
