Any one riding this road has to be insane and have a death wish

Looks like a great place to hold a road rally.. Can you IMAGINE trying to Run that road for Time? I don't trust anyone that much. I would have been walking behind that bus.

For a second....I was confused how the bus was moving after the driver climbed out?

That is a crazy place to put a road - but I guess you don't have any other place to put it.

Y'all gotta admit though, it is astonishingly beautiful. I think it would be worth it. As long as there aren't any earthquakes or tremors, I think you'd be alright. Assuming you were extra careful and didn't make a lot of noise.

The first thought I had was the waterfall would be a great place to put in a drive through car (bus?) wash. A couple of vacuums and a fellow would be in business.

Good Hunting

I think I'd rather take the boat and river at the bottom and hope a truck didn't fall on me ! :P

You guys have seen too much flat Nebraska and Kansas and need to move on :D

The place is not in Bolivia, it's on the Himalayas up there somewhere (title "Road to Base Camp" should be a hint)
As it's either India or Nepal... places which have been colonized by the British sor many centuries, vehicles are - guess what ? - right hand drive 8-)

In other worlds, the guy who stepped out is NOT the driver... the driver sits on the right, on the other side... ;)

Nice British accent - what else ? "Drop to the river is , what , 2000 ft? [nervous laugh] "

Actually, you can paradrop from up there and safely make it down to the river... ;D

The Bolivian road is different, possibly higher and narrower.

Hey....it was an honest mistake. I saw the bus stop, the driver got out, and then the bus began to move again. It only took a couple of seconds for me to realize the real driver was on the "wrong" side of the bus. ;D
