Hussaini Suspension Bridge

The Hussaini Suspension Bridge extends 193 meters across a deep gorge, connecting Hussaini Village with Zarabad over the Hunza River and Borit Lake.

Built in 1970, the bridge underwent reconstruction after a monsoon destroyed the original structure in 2011, leading to reinforcement with steel cables and wooden planks.

The bridge functions as a central connection point for local villagers who transport goods, maintain trade relationships, and sustain community ties across the Hunza River.

Visitors pay an entrance fee of 1,000 Pakistani rupees to cross the bridge, while local vendors near the entrance sell regional products like cherry juice.

Missing wooden planks and regular movement from strong winds create gaps in the walking surface, requiring careful attention to foot placement during crossing.
