The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) built a road higher than any other motorable road in the world!
This new road is in Ladakh, at a height of 19,400 feet.
It's part of a route that helps the military move supplies near the border with China.
This new road helps make it easier to transport things and people to high-altitude areas.
The road also gives people access to nearby villages, and is expected to bring in more tourists who want to see the amazing views.
The BRO has built most of the world’s highest roads, showing how good they are at building in tough places.
