Are the trails dangerous? What about the suspension bridges?
In general, the bridges in Nepal are safe. They carry the weight of many mule and yak trains and therefore are relatively sturdy. Many have been engineered and built by Swiss or European companies. There are several rules to follow though. Avoid entering the bridge when a caravan approaches. You may end up injured as the animals pass. Secondly, when trekking, avoid being on the outside of the trail when mule or yak caravans pass. Trekkers have been killed and injured by being pushed off the trail. When hiking in Nepal, please stop and admire the views. Do not walk and look at the same time. Trekkers have died needlessly by simply walking off the trail.
