Danyor Suspension Bridge
Danyor Bridge
An old wooden-plank suspension bridge over the Hunza River. The swaying deck is thrilling, and it's a popular photo stop for locals and visitors alike.
The Danyor Suspension Bridge links Gilgit city with the village of Danyor on the far side of the Hunza River. It is a steel-cable suspension bridge with a wooden deck, and a tunnel leads to the bridge head. Walking on it causes a noticeable sway, and from the bridge you can look down at the fast-flowing gray glacial river and up at the snowy mountains on both banks. It is now used mainly by pedestrians and motorcycles, and it is free to cross. Be careful in strong winds, when the deck sways considerably. Don't lean on the railings while taking photos. The location is approximate.
