A man who decided to risk it all to film on the 'world's most dangerous death road' has revealed the horrors of what happened there.

YouTuber Ruhi Cenet - who has visited hard-to-reach places in 65 countries - once travelled on the terrifying 810 mile-long stretch of the Karakoram Highway.

The highway connecting Pakistan and China earned the 'death road' moniker due to the aftermath of its 20-year constriction.

Work on the road began back in 1959 and ended in 1979, though this is when the most damage occurred.

Almost 1,000 workers, both Chinese and Pakistani, lost their lives due to harsh weather conditions and landslides.

To this day, its rocky formation and narrow road markings make it an incredibly dangerous trail to drive on.

Even the most experienced drivers can struggle through the winter months, with the addition of heavy snow and ice to the windy road and steep drops.

Despite the risks involved, documentary maker Ruhi was determined to give us some great content, and that he did.

"The three-hour-long 16.2km gravel path is such a road that sometimes memorials of the people that fell down and has lost their lives can be seen at the accident points," he said back in 2021.

"We hope not to see one and keep our motivation alive."

On the horrifying experience was, Ruhi added: "Look down guys, there isn't any protection and the wind is starting to pick up.

"There are no precautions to prevent a car falling down the cliffs and bursting into flames a landslide doesn't only make a rock fall on our heads it also may cause us to fall down. The adrenaline levels are getting higher now.

"The world's most dangerous road below us are cliffs. If the car falls it might blow up but we definitely lose our life."

Viewers praised what was another one of Ruhi's risk-taking adventures, with one person commenting: "After 15 years on YouTube, this is by far one of the coolest and most memorable ones I've seen. Well done."

Another added: "Imagine if this guy has or gets kids, he's never gonna run out of stories to tell them."

While a third person hilariously revealed: "Bro I am at work, and I just lied to my boss saying I had stomach issues and that's why i spend 25 minutes in the bathroom.

"While what I actually was doing, is watching this masterpiece of a short documentary!

"1000000 percent kudos to you and your team this is truly amazing, what a rollercoaster!!"
