The portrait of a road..

NH22, the gateway to Kinnaur is very attractive by itself.The edge,which is sharp at places, falls vertically to riverbed of Sutlej. NH22is a important road in the national highway grid connecting Ambala in Punjab to Khab in Himachal Pradesh via Chandigarh, Shimla, Narkanda, Rampur and beyond Khab to the Indo-Tibet border via Shipki La pass. In Himachal Pradesh it is a poorly maintained mountainous road with sections cut through rocky wall of Sutlej valley.Hairpin bends, broken fences, narrow dimensions and frequent landslides make for dangerous driving conditions.No wonder it has been named as one of the Deadliest roads in the world by the History Channel. It is 460km long.
