Which is world highest highway
Answers
The highway was built and maintained by the Indian Army and is capable of supporting the heaviest of their vehicles. The road is the only route to the Ladakh region and is vital to feed military supplies into that sector.
It is open only between June and mid-September when snow is cleared from the road by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO). The BRO maintains roads that serve the borders areas of India. It is staffed with officers from the Indian Army and employs workers locally. The road-construction teams have to deal with harsh climatic conditions like the icy Himalayan mountaintops, the marshes of Bengal and the deserts in Rajasthan. The BRO is specialized at building and maintaining roads at high altitude. Some of the BRO roads reach 5,600 meters (18,373 ft) above mean sea level.
