RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
No, Nope, Never, Non, Nein, Nyet!

Too scary without sturdy guardrails, and I'm afraid of heights. But I do understand that widening the road and placing first-world safety devices would remove every bit of charm of the ride!

Not unless I was in an induced coma and had no choice. My husband and life long friend would not hesitate if he had the right set of wheels, I doubt he'd choose a van.

Road to Hana Maui Van Tours | Valley Isle Excursions | Hana Tours

The road to Hana in Maui was an unforgettable adventure. We were in a rental car, I had a tourist map. I kept saying stuff like, "Oh wow, we just passed a wild macaw hangout," and various other natural wonders. I would have liked to have paused or at least slowed down long enough to glance at them. I spent most of the 64 mile trip with my face and hands pressed against the window, screaming, "We're gonna' die!" My husband's eyes were glowing like a crazy-eyed Amazon's, he was getting in touch with his inner kid and having the time of his life.

I was getting too nervous watching. There used to be a tv show (forgot what it was called) which followed Truckers from the US that went overseas to various locations, and I saw THIS exact sort of thing before. I don't think it was in Nepal, but another country that had similar roads. The truck driver has to rely on a 'spotter' who better not mess up :eek:! Uhh... NO!!!
