BRO Breaks Its Own Record, Builds World’s Highest Motorable Road at 19,400 ft in Ladakh

In a historic feat, Project Himank of the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has surpassed its own Guinness World Record by constructing the world’s highest motorable road at Mig La Pass, 19,400 feet above sea level in Ladakh. This overtakes the previous record at Umling La (19,024 feet) set in 2021.

 

Led by Brig Vishal Srivastava, the BRO team hoisted the National and BRO flags at the site. The new road, part of the Likaru-Mig La-Fukche alignment, holds strategic significance, forming a third key axis to Fukche village near the border. It also promises to boost tourism in Ladakh, offering breathtaking views of the Indus Valley.

 

This achievement showcases BRO’s engineering excellence in extreme terrains.
