Hanging or suspension bridges are usually a tourist attraction in countries around the world. In Vancouver, there's the Capilano bridge and a shorter version located in Lynn Valley. It's pretty exhilarating experience looking at the magnificent views of nature down below. I'll never get tired of walking across those bridges but I don't think I'll be daring enough to walk on this hanging bridge located in the northern part of Pakistan. It is purportedly the most dangerous suspension bridge in the world. The Hussaini Borit Lake bridge is extremely old, narrow, wobbly and perilous bridge over Lake Borit. It is made from ropes and decaying wooden planks. They say that crossing this bridge beat the roller coaster rides! I got the photo posted to show you how dangerous it is and still being used by locals and dared to cross by adventurous tourists. Would you dare to cross this bridge?

try it once in your lifetime at least. It's awesome experience but I wouldn't encourage you to go to Pakistan and try that bridge!

Another scary bridge - This is the oldest bridge in the southern alps of Japan called Musou Tsuribashi. You must watch the video to virtually experience how dangerous this bridge is.
This is another scary bridge in Japan. It has a video of someone walking the length of it and showing the ravine down below.

I've been wlaking on a suspension bridge but a short one. If you have a phobia in height, I said better don't do it. But the trill is there. The feeling is awesome when you able to finished your journey across. The Hussaini Borit Lake bridge is the king of all suspension bridge. I doubt I have the guts to wlak across it. That one I surrender big time.

I can definitely say I would not want to cross that bridge. I'd be too afraid of falling into the water. I can swim but am not the best at it, and haven't swam in years. I'd probably lose my food (hurl) before I crossed the thing completely.

I supposed the Pakistanis are used to the bridge's foreboding construct as they cross it everyday. But like you, I couldn't imagine myself leaping on those planks.
