Pakistan: Hussaini Suspension Bridge

Hussaini Suspension Bridge is a spectacular pedestrian hanging bridge over the Hunza River south of the Passu Cones. The bridge is 660 feet long , 50–100 feet above the river, with 472 wooden planks and six main ropes. Planks are spaced widely to reduce wind-induced swaying, making crossing a dangerously exhilarating adrenaline-pumping endeavor. While the bridge is relatively sturdy, it does have the reputation of one of the most dangerous hanging bridges in the world – in fact over 10 people have fallen and drowned, including a.2022 incident that caused the bridge’s temporary suspension. The mandatory water jackets seem totally useless for the whitewater Hunza.
