Drives Of A Lifetime: 10 Of The World's Most Spectacular Roads

BANGALORE: There is nothing like a road trip to really experience a country. From coastal highways and dizzying mountain passes, to scenic routes through national parks and bridges over great spans of water; roads are the circulatory system that connects a country. The greatest driving roads in the world should have a perfect mixture between challenging and complicated bends, long fast straights, little to no traffic and especially breathtaking views! These roads might have enough twists and turns to give you a headache but you will feel incredible after you have conquered them. Let's have a look at some of the gorgeous roads in the world: 1. The Overseas Highway Imagine a stunning road that leaps from island to island, across 42 bridges over the unbelievable blue ocean.

It was built in 1938 along the course of an old railroad that was destroyed by a hurricane, this road may be old but it's stunningly well-kept and an absolute pleasure to drive through.

It's essentially five hour drives over water and if you manage to coincide a part of your trip with a sunrise or sunset. The only drawback is that if you happen to be here in holiday season, the traffic might bother a few but for the most part, the scenery is so spectacular that there is no road rage here and being stuck hardly feels like a prison.
