Chicham Bridge
A cliff-side steel bridge opened in 2017, spanning the Sumba Gorge about 300 meters deep. It is said to be one of the highest bridges in Asia, at about 4,145 meters.
Chicham Bridge connects the villages of Kibber and Chicham. The bridge is about 114 meters long and crosses a gorge roughly 300 meters deep, at an altitude of about 4,145 meters. Before it was built, villagers had to cross the gorge by cable car. Standing on the bridge and looking down at the sheer canyon walls is breathtaking. There is a viewing platform and tea stalls at the bridge head. The bridge is single-lane, so mind traffic safety. It can be visited on the way after exploring Kibber, and you can continue toward Chicham village and Langza.
