The Himalayan region on its own covers about a fifth of the country's total area and about 3000 km of India's international borders. Some of the hilly areas having immense natural scenic beauty which attracts thousands of local and foreign tourists. The roads in hilly areas are strategically significant due to its proximity to international borders and defence establishments.
