NOTE: Your humble blogger had to do quite a bit of research to put together this list of world's highest vehicular tunnels. The China tunnels were confusing because of various names given to them and the fact that they both were cited as being the world's highest. It turns out that the Cho La Mountain Tunnel was never the world's highest, despite several news reports stating that to be the case. Here is the most important thing to note: There is nowhere on the world wide web that you can find a correct listing of the order of the world's 6 highest vehicular tunnels, other than on John Smith's Blog.
