    Default Would you dare to ride in this.

    would you do the trip in this if you had advance knowledge.

    It's not twenty minutes BTW, about 4 mins

    NOPE!

    You wouldn't need to be crazy but it would sure help.

    On 2 wheels [except for the waterfall] perhaps - 4 wheels nah.

    Wasn't sure but you would be praying it was only one way…..

    I wouldn't even walk along that!!!

    Went on a road like that up in the Andes from Santiago and it was sealed.

    Frightened all sorts of stuphph out of me,especially when we ended up behind
    a truckload of readymix concrete swaying from side to side!!!

    On the way back down, apart from watching some Condors soaring overhead,
    the real joy was when the driver stopped at a bend where a carload of 5 Brazilians
    had plunged about 800 metres to their death!!!

    That road reminds me of some of the sections of the WWI military roads (now unofficial short cuts between villages) my uncle has taken me on in the Italian Alps. They were originally just mule cart tracks. His vehicle of choice was his old and battered Fiat Bambino. Some of the switchbacks were so tight the Bambino could not make the turns in one go and he either had to 3 point turn them or break the traction to perform a rally controlled rally slide turn. What made it extra exciting was at night after a skin full of grappa. Most of these tracks were closed but he knew how to go through his cousins daughter in laws back yard to gain access. He also had a "special key" to get access to some tracks.

    I couldn't quite read the company name on the side of the bus, but I think it looked like "Brown Eye Adventures"

    Reminds me of a ride the wife and I took in the mountains of Nepal in a little green van driven by a mad Gurkha.

    You nearly got it right. It was "Clencher Adventures".

    The rag tied to the LHS rear vision mirror is for cleaning the shat off the passengers seats at the end of the trip.

    I rode a similar road from Siliguri to Gangtok. It was monsoon and we had to bribe the road maintenance guys to let us past a rock slide. Interesting trip.
