Two years after the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) began work on the world’s highest motorable road, the Likaru-Migla-Fukche route, the project has been completed, bringing joy to adventure enthusiasts and local communities eager for improved connectivity. The road traverses Mig La, a towering 19,400-foot pass in eastern Ladakh near the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

Built by Project Himank, the BRO has surpassed its own previous Guinness World Record, previously set with the completion of Umling La at an altitude of 19,024 feet. Constructed in 2021, the 52-kilometre Umling La road links Chisumle to Demchok, situated directly on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and a known friction point between India and China.
