Guess where this is?

[GNEP]

Almost remeniscent of the Sani Pass in the Drakensberg, but too green and the road's too well maintained

It isn't the Sani Pass. Try again.

[Brian Ellis]

Ok, it could be almost anywhere in the Alps and probably in many other high mountain ranges, but I'll plump for the St Gotthard (so called because anyone cycling up it has Gotthard work to do )

[JTD]

Nope, it's not St Gotthard. You are in the right place though (the alpes).

And it's not some random pass, it's quite famous.

And speaking of cycling, i have been up and down this one on bike (took me about 3 hours from the bottom to the top).

[Brian Ellis]

OK my next guess with a serpentine road may be the Grimsel

[JTD]

Nope.

[Brian Ellis]

Going to give me another 236 guesses (I think, if my memory is good, there are 238 recognised Alpine passes)? OK, let's try another tack. It doesn't look very much like the Grand St Bernard, but how about the Petit St Bernard?

Nope.

I'll give you a clue. There are 48 hairpins to the top and they are all numbered starting from the top.

[Brian Ellis]

There are 2 passes with 48 hairpins, the Stelvio and the Umbrail, so I guess it must be one of them. It doesn't look too much like the Umbrail, as I remember it, so I'll plump for the Stelvio, which I don't know.

Correct, it's the Passo dello Stelvio, the highest pass in Italy.

[Brian Ellis]

OK, here's a fairly distinctive one!

[lecter]

There's a distinct lack of mountains to be seen, but it still makes me think of Machu Pichu.

[Brian Ellis]

Wrong continent!

[lecter]

OK, then it should be somewhere in Asia...SE Asia, perhaps? Doesn't look like Bagan, but nevertheless maybe in Myanmar?

[Brian Ellis]

Asia, yes, Bagan, Myanmar, no. Not SE Asia, even.
