Did you know? The Hussaini Bridge of Gilgit-Baltistan is the 'most dangerous' bridge in the world.
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. The local people of northern Pakistan use several suspension bridges to cross the many rivers in the region. The area is known for its “two bridge trek,” which is a major tourist attraction experience. No roller coaster or amusement park ride can come close to simulating the truly death-defying thrills and fears associated with crossing this bridge where sudden gusts of winds can knock travelers off their feet to a watery death within seconds. No one knows who built the Hussaini-Borit Lake Bridge, but it is extremely old, very narrow, situated too high above the lake and missing many of the original wooden planks. It passes through the village of Passu and other neighboring hamlets, ending at the lake itself.
