Hussaini Hanging Bridge in North Pakistan

Despite its ominous appearance, dozens of hikers test their adrenaline yearly as they cautiously make their way across the Hussaini Hanging Bridge. This crossing has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in North Pakistan over the years. Although regarded as the most dangerous bridge in the world, it’s only one of several treacherous suspension bridges in the country’s northern region.

Locals built the 660-foot hanging bridge in the ’60s, and what makes it risky are its flimsy-looking ropes and 472 wooden planks with sizeable gaps in between each. Although similar crossings exist in other local places like Gilgit-Baltistan, the Hussaini Hanging Bridge is still the scariest.
