The paved parts of the road leading up from Ganzi are in disrepair with many potholes, while the part over the 5050m Tro La pass is dirt track of rubble in particularly bad condition. The amazing scenery somewhat pays off for the ordeal as you pray you don't go over the edge! As of June 2012, the entire length of the Ganzi-Dege road is under construction in the process of being paved, and most of it is still in very rough condition.
