  • PLACES ON EARTH PEOPLE VISIT AT RISK-PART-II

    Dear friends,
    Next in this series is Machu Pichu,Peru, Husaini Hanging bridge in Pakistan, and Mount Huashan in China. Notice and imagine yourselves in these places mentally.

    3. Huayna Picchu,Peru

    The ancient city of Machu Picchu is best viewed atop the summit of this mountain. However, getting there is the hard part. Inhospitable terrain, narrow and steep stairs, and high altitudes can be pretty unnerving.

    4. Hussaini Hanging Bridge, Northern Pakistan

    Located in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of northern Pakistan, this bridge served as a connection across the Borit Lake in Upper Hunza. This rope bridge is both long and poorly maintained. Many planks are missing, and strong winds shake the bridge as you cross it. A previous, older, broken bridge hangs in tatters next to the "new" one, not something that would ease your nerves.

    Despite its dangerous looks, the Hussaini is a relatively safe bridge and has become something of a tourist draw, with hikers testing their nerves as they carefully work their way across.

    5. Mont Blanc Box, France

    We're not talking about the luxury brand, but the glass box that stands 12,604 feet over the rocks to give you a 360 degree view from Europe's tallest peak. Engineers have assured visitors about its structural durability and the technology that prevents this box from toppling off the edge. But is that enough?

    6. Mount Huashan, China

    Visitors flock to this mountain in China which is famous for its almost vertical stair cases, steep edges, and the creaky wooden planks that are bolted onto the sides of the mountain.
