Most Dangerous Rope Bridge In The World – Hussaini Hanging Bridge

Posted on 24 March 2010

The Hussaini- Borit Lake Bridge is considered as one of the most dangerous as it is very old, narrow, and too high above the lake and to top it all the wooden planks are missing.

This only the tip of the iceberg, as this dangerous rope bridge is the only means for the local people to travel to big cities in northern Pakistan.

The local people of Pakistan use several suspension bridges to cross rivers in and around northern Pakistan. Among these, the Borit lake bridge is well known around the globe for being the most dangerous and thrilling rope bridge.

The two bridge trek forms a major tourist attraction in Pakistan. Here, you have to cross the two bridges that take you through Passu and other neighboring villages and ends at the lake itself. The view from the Borit lake bridge is picturesque. And this attracts the tourists to take the long and dangerous trek time and again.

    Had it been so difficult so many tragedies would have had happened. Besides, plenty of villagers including children, old & women cross it everyday. It is total exaggeration of it being so difficult.
