One would think that Anand Mahindra, the chairman of Mahindra Group, is someone who would love road travel, especially considering that his company is involved in the automobile business. However, earlier this week on Friday, the business magnate tweeted that there are a few ‘dangerous beautiful’ roads in India that he does not want to travel on.

While sharing a tweet thread, posted by a popular travel-centric Twitter page named Traveling Bharat, about “10 Most Dangerous Beautiful Roads in India”, Mahindra wrote, “Thank you @TravelingBharat for your amazing shares, many of which I RT & put on my bucket list…But there’s no way I’m visiting THIS road…I confess I don’t have the courage!”.

Traffic jam on Zojila Pass only happens if there’s any breakdown or landslide. Else traffic is smooth. Been there. Awesome experience.

Plus there’s Zojila Tunnel under construction now as well.

To be honest, this is actually turning me off from visiting Leh-Ladakh. The traffic jam I would get stuck into would be a nightmare to get out of and would take hours!

Was not getting Leh to Delhi flight. Then had to take this Leh-Kargil-Srinagar road journey in a taxi innova. Journey of my life!
