World's 10 most dangerous bridges

New Delhi: Bridges go far beyond the sturdy structures you drive across each day. And some of the world's most dangerous bridges were intended for foot traffic. Here is the list of world's ten dangerous bridges, You would love to walk through them as they bring you close to nature but walking through them may frighten you. Have a look:1. Q'eswa Chaca (or Keshwa Chaca), Peru This handwoven bridge is the last operational Incan rope bridge in existence. It has survived this long thanks to a group of families who meticulously maintain the bridge by making repairs every year (such as replacing support cables) as a way of honoring their ancestors.2. Kotmale Footbridge, Sri LankaThis footbridge crosses the Kotmale Oya, a river in Sri Lanka. There's something hauntingly beautiful about it despite (or perhaps because of) its apparent disrepair. 3. Vine Bridges of Iya Valley, JapanThis addition to our list is thanks to a recommendation from our readers in the comments.Iya Valley is famous for its gorgeous mountains and the old vine bridges that span some of their valleys and rivers. Here's a beautiful example of the kind of vine bridges you might encounter on a visit. 4. Hussaini – Borit Lake, PakistanThis rope bridge is both long and poorly maintained. Many planks are missing, and strong winds shake the bridge as you cross it. It does little to ease nerves that a previous, older, broken bridge hangs in tatters next to the "new" one. 5. Arenal Hanging Bridges, Costa RicaA three kilometer hike through the Costa Rican rain forest. There are six suspension bridges, with the largest one at just under 100 meters long and 45 meters off the ground. 6. Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, Northern IrelandCarrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge is a famous rope bridge near Ballintoy in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The bridge links the mainland to the tiny island of Carrickarede. It spans 20 metres and is 30 metres above the rocks below. 7. Aiguille du Midi at the Mont Blanc Mountain, FranceThe bridge itself is short, making for an easy escape if acrophobia sets in. But those truly afraid of heights probably won't even see the bridge; getting here requires taking a cable car that climbs 9,200 vertical feet in just 20 minutes. 8. Taman Negara National Park Bridge, MalaysiaThe Taman Negara National Park in Pahang is one of the most pristine rainforests still existing in the world. Walking along the canopy bridge here is a great experience. 9. Hanging Bridge of Ghasa in NepalThe Hanging Bridge of Ghasa is a very long suspension bridge in Nepal that was built to congestion in town due to herds of animals constantly being walked up and down the narrow roads. You not only get to experience this unsteady bridge, you can share the experience with a bunch of animals. 10. Hanging Bridge in Thenmala, India The Thenmala hanging bridge is one of the tourist attraction in Punalur Town, Kollan District in Kerala. Thenmala is famous for movie making spot by Malayalam and Tamil movies. Tourists love the bouncing and swinging while crossing this bridge.
