Completed in 2017, the Chicham Bridge is India's highest road span crossing approximately 150 meters above the River Spiti tributary. Chicham Bridge is also touted as the "world's highest bridge" which is a partial truth as the deck is located 13,596 feet / 4,145 meters above sea level.
The region around Kibber and the great Spiti River valley is popular among Indian tourists who are willing to venture off the beaten path and do not mind spending several days on bumpy dirt roads to see this unusually high one-lane road bridge.
Prior to Chicham Bridge, the highest road bridge in India was the 100 meter high Singshore Bridge in the West Sikkim region of India.
