Having been to the Death Road in Bolivia, I can confirm it looks quite different to this.

This video would actually appear to be in the Himalayas, believed to be between Killar and Kishtwar in northern India, above the Chenab river.

Source with more pictures, and detail.

You're almost certainly talking about Bolivia's "Death Road", also known as Yungas Road.

Didn't mean to jump Affable Geek's answer, had the browser open without a refresh before I posted.
