The Danyore Suspension Bridge is in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan, and is one of the oldest make shift suspension bridges in the region. The bridge connects Danyor to the premises of the Karakoram University across the River Hunza. Currently the bridge is closed for vehicles and only pedestrians and motorcyclists are allowed to pass through. Winds coming from northwest of the valley set the suspension brige to swing inducing minute resonances, it is therefore declared unsafe for normal traffic.There has been constructed a two way concrete bridge beside it, that is being used as an alternative which was completed in 2013.
Its a 10 minutes walk from Karakoram International University or you can take the way around route from Danyore Chowk to reach here, the core and historical suspension bridge was designed and built by famous contractor Birano somewhere in 1963. Before the construction of the suspension bridge people used a boat which is locally called Jaalo (a traditional raft) to cross rivers.After the construction of new Reinforced concrete cement bridge its now turned into a heritage site declared by the provincial government in 2017. Renovation work is underway which is expected to complete this year.This is a must visit place in Gilgit. Along the Kiu side you will find Rock inscriptions an archaeological site. The boulders bearing inscriptions from the 7th or 8th centuries.
Newly & nicely restored suspension bridge, that served for years the passing by caravans.
