Architecture Marvel - An Unique Bridge In Nepal




The above picture shows Gyandi - Kusma Suspension Bridge that lies at Gyandi (place of Parbat).  This bridge is situated at the highest place of Nepal connects Gyandi and Kusma, two cliffs separated by Modi river situated in Parbat district of Western Nepal. The Gyandi - Kushma bridge is considered to be one of the highest suspension bridges in Nepal with height of 135 meters.  It is one of the longest bridge with length of 344 meters. It reduces a tough 1-2 hours walk to about 5 minutes. The bridge has just been completed and is in regular use now.  Many people cling to the safety wall of bridge due to the height and length, in fear.


344 meters in length !!! That’s a really long distance for a suspension bridge. It would be a lovely experience to peep down from the bridge. The bridge looks really terrific one.  I guess the most horrifying moment would be standing in the middle of the bridge and somebody shaking the bridge from other side. OMG....!!!
Anyways, Caption and description gives different views, but as far as I know both the bridges are equally horrifying as well as awesome sites because of its uniqueness that it lacks support in the middle of the bridge....!!!
