The six main cables are hung from one bank to another. Massive gaps between the wooden planks, Many planks are missing, and strong winds shake the bridge. It does little to ease nerves that a previous, older, broken bridge hangs in tatters next to the "new" one.

Hussaini suspension bridge crosses the lake Borit upstream of Hunza river in northern Pakistan. A 2,600 m altitude, in the region of Gilgit-Baltistan, is the world's most dangerous bridge. It is an important point of connection of the routes that go to the north of the country, belongs to the people of Pasu and other neighboring villages, and ends at the lake itself in Gilgit-Baltistan. Since 1978 is relatively isolated by the lack of roads and infrastructure, the only possible way is through the mountains to Rawalpindi or traffic of aircraft but only for the richest people, Internal insulation between regions is offset by the construction of the Karakoram Highway, which crosses the region from outside. The view from the Hussaini-Borit Lake Bridge is picturesque, not to mention precarious and potentially lethal.

It is very dangerous to cross the Borit Lake and the rapidly flowing Hunza River is particularly frightening, the reason for being named the world’s most dangerous suspension bridge and also the world's most attractive bridge. Hussaini Bridge is also one of the most Oldest Bridge in Pakistan.

The truly death-defying thrills and fears associated with crossing this bridge where sudden gusts of winds can hit travelers off their feet to face to face with death. Despite its dangerous looks, however, the Hussaini is is a relatively safe bridge and has become something of a tourist draw, with hikers testing their nerves as they carefully work their way across.
