Ride to the World’s Highest Motorable Pass
January 8, 2026•582 words
Riding to the world’s highest motorable pass is not just a journey—it’s a test of endurance, mindset, and true adventure. Every year, riders ask the same question about BRO-made roads and how high-altitude routes above 5,000 meters are created and maintained. Very few, however, truly understand what it takes to build and ride roads in the high Himalayas.
If you’re ready for an experience that goes beyond smooth roads and easy sightseeing, start your journey with Motorbike Expeditions .
BRO Roads & The Reality Above 5,000 Meters
The Border Roads Organisation works tirelessly every year to make Himalayan roads safer and more accessible. With time, many routes are becoming well-tarmacked, reducing off-road challenges.
But here’s the truth: If your goal is only perfect roads, there are far easier routes elsewhere.
You’re here for the Himalayas—for altitude, unpredictability, and adventure.
