Gilgit City To Danyor Tunnel

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

Before the construction of the suspension bridge of Danyor there used to be a boat which is locally called Jaalo (a traditional raft for the passage crossing rivers and lakes) was used to cross the Hunza River. The bridge was constructed in mid-sixties. The Danyore side of the bridge is connected to a tunnel that was dug by the then residents of Danyore without any engineering tools and equipments almost a decade later.

Danyor (Urdu:دنیور, Burushiski and Shina: دیّور‎) is a city in the namesake Tehsil in district Gilgit lies across the river Gilgit in the outskirts of the capital of Gilgit-Baltistan. It is famous for its green fields, and poplar trees. The world's highest paved road KKH passes through its beautiful landscape.
