I been to almost every road but i must say we should add few more .. like north eastern and uttrakhand roads those are really awsome
I would like to suggest the McLeodganj to Kangra stretch here
also the to road leading to Nainital is really beautilful too
The Delhi-Jaipur highway is completely ruined now, with so much construction activity going on, there are plenty of bottle necks,
and does not deserve to be on this list any more….
I won’t count the Jaipur delhi road or the noida Agra road at all.
I would definitely recommend the tea estate drive from Kaziranga to Golaghat in Assam as one of the finest and most beautiful drives. There are tea gardens on both sides. Recommend you to try this driver and add it to your list.
Bangalore-Wynad-Kozhikode drive is one of the scenic drives.
Konkan Track is the most beautiful in India. Even Mumbai to Pune is amazing track. The same highway could be used to reach bangalore and possibly Goa. Delhi Gurgaon, Jaisalmer to Balmer shouldn’t be on the list. Generally highways in south india has beautiful surrounding. Just people in south are ugly with weird food.
Many of these i have covered: Chennai to Pondicherry is very good, but i did not find it any exceptional to be in top 10 highways.
