Thanks for your post @Alex_kezevadze . I just wanted to say that a few years back a television news reader friend of mine from Sochi and I were going to drive through Abano Pass but because of the weather, it was closed. She did tell me that the road there is also known as “death road” because there are many fatal accidents there and along the way you can see many roadside memorials to those who have died there. I have been through Sim Bhanjyang pass in southern Nepal which is about 2,500m (8,200ft) so not as high as Abano Pass however it also has breathtaking high elevation views, in fact, some of the best views of the Himalaya.

@AdamGT Yes, the road is open only from June to October. Also in bad weather, it is not recommended to move. The road is very narrow and dangerous. Landslides are frequent and the road closes for several days.

To move on this road, the main thing is a car in good condition, an experienced driver and a love of nature :slightly_smiling_face:

Yes, dear @AdamGT

I do remember about your Himalayan mission.

Dreaming about the moving car on that road itself is scary!

Forgot driving one over there…
