The Punakha Suspension Bridge in Bhutan, one of the longest of its kind, offers stunning views and a thrilling experience as it sways gently above the Po Chhu River. It connects Punakha Dzong to the villages across the river. Accessibility can be moderate, involving a walk to reach the bridge. It is generally safe for solo exploration, but guided tours provide cultural insights and historical context. Seasonal restrictions are minimal, although the monsoon season (June-September) may bring occasional closures due to heavy rain. The cost is minimal, as there's usually no entry fee to cross the bridge. A typical visit lasts about 1-2 hours, allowing time for crossing, enjoying the scenery, and taking photos.
