🥇 People photography: A taste of India (24 Photos) by @digi-me

Some years ago I was in India together with a friend. Two female travellers who crossed the country by train from east to west. From Varanasi to Udaipur. India is still one of those countries that has made the deepest impression on me. It's a country full of contrasts. To us it was a trip that changed our views on many aspects of our own life. The heartbreaking poverty is something we weren't prepared for. It pursued us wherever we went. But India is so much more than poverty and heaps of trash.

🥈 The World's Most Dangerous Bridge in Pakistan by @lifeskills-tv

Hussaini Suspension Bridge is the World's Most Dangerous Bridge. Hussaini Hanging Bridge is situated at Hussaini Village in Hunza Valley (Gojal, Upper Hunza). During my visit to Khunjrab I visited this place and also crossed this bridge. It was very frightening experience as this suspension bridge is very long and Hunza river is also very deep and water flow is strong. We were traveling in a group of 20 to 25 people and only 4 to 5 persons tried to cross this bridge.

🥉 New Zealand Adventure - Queenstown - Part 2 by @tomatom

You see, the bunjee at Cairns had water at the bottom so if something did go wrong at least I could spear through the water surface. But here? Nope. How about sharp jagged rocks instead which will split you in half or impale you instead. Oh and another thing, despite the bunjee being 50 meters. The actual height of the platform is 400 meters high so trust me when you're hooked up and looking over the edge it makes things alot scarier; even though you know it's a 50 meter bungy.
