Duku Highway Travel Guide

Do not rely on last year's opening date

The opening date varies each year. Temporary closures are also possible, so the highway should never be the only workable part of an itinerary.

Vehicle and comfort

The road includes many bends and altitude changes. A well-maintained SUV or MPV works for small groups, subject to current traffic rules. Travellers prone to motion sickness should prepare in advance.

Useful preparation

• Warm layers and sun protection.
• Water, simple food and motion-sickness supplies.
• Offline maps and an alternative route.
• Reasonable driver rest periods.
