The Kusma Gyadi suspension bridge in Nepal

Near the city of Parbat, in the heart of Nepal there is a real test for those who hate heights: the Kusma Gyadi Suspension Bridge (in Nepali, Kushma-Katuwachaupari), which rises over 345 meters suspended above the void.

It is one of the largest suspension bridges in the world, balancing eerily over the waters of the Madi river at a height of more than 100 meters. Crossing it is not a problem for the inhabitants of Parbat, who are used to heights and dizzying cliffs.

Moreover, for them the Kusma Gyadi Bridge, built just a few years ago, was a true blessing, as it allowed them to save hours on the road to move from one bank of the river to the other in a matter of minutes.

Despite its spectacularity and its design, in which local tradition was respected, this is not the longest in the world. If you want to see it you have to travel to neighboring China, to the province of Hunan. There, in the southern mining region, a spectacular bridge over a kilometer long hangs from two mountains that trembles over an abyss of more than 350 meters. If you ever want to feel vertigo, these are some of the right places for it.
