The highest motorable road in the world



Marsimik La, the highest motorable road in the world, is a mountain pass lying on the LehManali road. It is at a height of 5,680 m above sea level in the Himalayan ranges. This pass in Ladakh leads one to Khardung La Pass, the second highest motorable road. A ride to the top of the Marsimik La is an adventurous journey consisting of 22 km long dirt, gravel, mud, boulder, dusty, and sand tracks. Marsimik La is just 700 ft short of the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro.
