Maruti Jimny on World’s Most Dangerous Road
This video comes from Xtreme Moto Adventure on YouTube. The couple are on the way around the Himalayas of Himachal Pradesh in their Jimny. Currently, they are camping around 20 km before Sach Pass. They begin their treacherous journey toward Sach Pass which is located at 4,414 m (14,482 ft) above sea level. The condition of the road is as horrible as one could imagine. However, the Jimny is quite capable of conquering such terrains because of its inherent characteristics. It is designed to tackle such roads. That is visible in the video as well. They don’t get stuck even at one single point during this challenging terrain. That is a testament to the abilities of the lightweight off-roader.

What We Think
We have seen so many hardcore adventure seekers taking their Maruti Jimny SUVs to such exciting places. However, we must warn our readers to take care of their safety first. Just getting a rugged car doesn’t give you a free hand to take it anywhere you please. Driving on tough mountains is a skill not a lot of drivers possess. Hence, you must first be experienced in driving in the mountains. Secondly, you must prepare well to ensure that you are carrying the necessary things and information to navigate through such terrains. Also, you must not blindly trust your vehicle to get you out of any situation. Be careful and mature about such excursions.
