Hi Karen. Just watched the video. We attempted that drive in the same direction in 2016 but only got as far as the Igmir switchback after driving for about 3 hours on dry river bed/gravel all the way from the first village after the turn off from Icht. Unfortunately as there was no tarmac (or barriers) 3:22 on that bit back then, we made it up to the first switchback and couldn't get traction to turn so had to reverse down and turn back, another 3 hours on the same road back towards Icht😢 much improvement has been made since then. Enjoy Tafroute.
Wow, what an experience. Things really have changed. I think Our Tour had a similar experience, probably the same year. I hope you'd feel confident doing it again now you've seen the footage. Those switchbacks were a bit hairy though x
Loved that drive!!
Chris it was incroyable. We want to do the additional gorge road next time. Oooh so many next times 😆 x
