04 Dangerous Jeep Road Towards Fairy Meadows  [4 of 15]


I can look over the edge of the road to Tato on the way to Fairy Meadows at the sheer drop of 1000m and think about, well, death. I especially feared if we would meet another jeep, but we didn't. This is the kind of ride they could have at an amusement park, but would be real, not manufactured. I watch the local driver and hope he had a good night's sleep and is in a good mood. My life is clearly in his hands and feet. After a drive of one hour we arrived at the small village of Tato (2300m).
