The world’s highest motorable road at 19,400 feet in Ladakh’s Mig La Pass was built by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) under Project Himank. This achievement surpasses the previous record set at Umling La Pass and highlights BRO’s expertise in high-altitude construction. The road serves both strategic military purposes, enhancing troop mobility near the Line of Actual Control, and civilian benefits, improving connectivity and tourism potential. BRO’s innovative engineering in extreme terrains demonstrates India’s capacity for infrastructure development in challenging environments, solidifying its global recognition in high-altitude road construction.
