Located in Northern Pakistan, the Hussaini hanging bridge stretches across Borit Lake in the upper Hunza valley. The bridge looks terrifying: thin cables supporting weathered old boards, with substantial gaps between them. It looks as though one wrong step could plunge you into the lake below. Also unnerving are the crumbling remains of a second, older bridge that still hangs alongside it. All of which contributes to it’s reputation as “the scariest bridge in the world.” It even has it’s own Facebook page. Thrill seekers come from far and wide to see if they have the guts to complete this treacherous crossing. But to the locals, it’s actually no big deal. They routinely cross the bridge to travel from one village to another – even little children. Despite it’s frightening appearance, it seems the bridge is actually quite safe.
