10 roads you must drive on in the world

1.) Hana Highway-

Hana Highway in Hawaii travels along Maui's coastline and consists of 620 sharp turns and 59 bridges. You'll experience a variety of views, including waterfalls, rain forests, and, of course, the ocean. 
 
2.) North Yungas Road-
The North Yungas Road in Bolivia is beautiful but also known as the world's most dangerous road because of its single lanes, tight turns, and steep drop-offs.
 
3.)
Col de l'Isera-
Col de l'Iseran in France is the highest paved road in the Alps. This scenic route is open only in the summer and has been used several times in the Tour de France. 
 
4.) Chapman's Peak Drive-
Chapman's Peak Drive in South Africa is about five miles long with 114 curves and offers stunning 180-degree views of both mountain and sea.
 
5.) Rohtang Pass-
India's Rohtang Pass offers a spectacular view of glaciers, peaks and rivers. Be warned — it's also known for its massive landslides. 
 
6.) Atlantic Road-
The Atlantic Road in Norway stretches across seven bridges and offers a beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean. If you drive in calmer weather, you might even see whales and seals.
 
7.)
Interstate 70-
The Interstate 70, which runs through Utah, is most beautiful in winter, especially when it winds its way through the snow-covered Spotted Wolf Canyon.
 
8.) Karakorum Highway-
The Karakorum Highway was bulldozed in the 1960s and '70s and now connects Pakistan and China.
 
9.) Milford Road-
The Milford Road in New Zealand winds for 144 miles through Fiordland National Park, in the heart of the Southern Alps. It also connects to Milford Sound, one of the filming locations for the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
 
10.) Valley of Fire Road-
The Valley of Fire Road in Nevada passes through beautiful red sandstone formations that look like they are on fire when reflecting the sun.
