Hussaini

The village beside the Hussaini suspension bridge

Hussaini lies beside the long wooden suspension bridge over the Hunza River and has one of the best views of the Passu Cones across the water.

The Hussaini suspension bridge is a footbridge of wooden planks and cables, long and swaying, and one of the best-known sights in Gojal. Crossing it is much less dangerous than it looks, but the planks are widely spaced and there are gaps, so take your time and cross with a guide if you are nervous about heights.

The village beside it is small and quiet. From the riverbank the Passu Cones fill the view, and the trail to Borith Lake starts nearby.
