But watching it on video is very fascinating. You should check out Ice Road Truckers' Deadliest Roads which was filmed in India. The road in your video seems to be the same one that was used in IRT. The truckers are very skilled, yet they faced difficulty after difficulty with this experience in India. Also of interest are the traffic scenes filmed in town -- anything goes &, while it's frustrating for the truckers, it's comical to watch.
For those interested in watching that entire season, here's a link:
