India has set a new world record by completing the highest motorable road at 19,400 feet in Ladakh’s Mig La Pass. Built by the Border Roads Organisation under Project Himank, the route connects Hanle to Fukche near the LAC, surpassing Umling La’s previous record. Beyond its strategic value, the road opens new frontiers for high-altitude tourism, empowering local communities and reinforcing India’s engineering excellence in extreme Himalayan conditions.
