NEPAL — When I clicked on this video, the title said "Driving Through a Waterfall," and I thought, "Wow, that sounds amazing!"
I'm not really sure what I was envisioning, because it turns out that driving through a waterfall is nothing short of purely terrifying.
The video shows a road in Nepal that would be scary all on its own because it's extremely rocky and carved into a very steep cliff side with lots of sharp points sticking out. But this isn't just any dangerous mountain road, this is a waterfall road.
Yesterday's Have You Seen This?
Yes, the road is literally in the middle of a massive and powerful waterfall. I'm not sure if it was planned that way or if the water came after the road was built, but watching a vehicle of (surprisingly calm) people make their way across this mountain nearly made my heart stop three times.
After watching the video several times over, I can say I sure hope I never find myself driving through a waterfall. If you love getting yourself into terrifying and life-threatening situations, you might think this road looks amazing, but I'll stick to admiring waterfalls from safer distances.
