‘Road to heaven’ is the newest scenic road in India, which is about 30 kilometers long and connects Khavda to Dholavira in Gujarat.
Motorbike tourists who shared images of the road, say it was a “heavenly experience” to be riding there. And so the name ‘Road to Heaven’ stuck, as can be seen on Google Maps.
