The Amarnath Cave, J&K is situated at a height of 3,888 metres from Srinagar. It’s a prominent Hindu pilgrimage place and is visited throughout the year by lakhs of devotees.

Another surprising factor of the cave that makes it a must visit place is the ice Shiva-lingam which is formed due to ice stalagmite in these caves.
Have you ever seen a huge rock on a steep hill staying firm and rooted at its place? Well, that is what you will see when you head to view the Balancing Rock, Mahabalipuram. It’s a 20 feet high and 5 meters wide rock that’s actually resting on a slippery slope of a hill. But the fact that it doesn’t roll down makes it an intriguing site. And you’ll be stunned to know that this rock has been in its perfect position since centuries.
What if we said you can actually see islands floating on a lake? Yes, you can get this incredible experience of your life by visiting the Loktak Lake, Manipur. The only floating lake of the world has its incredible flora and fauna (around 223 species of aquatic plants, 425 animal species, and 57 types of water birds) floating in the form of “phumdis” (heterogenous mass of soil and organic matter along with flora and also housing the fauna) exclusively at the Bishnupur District of Manipur.
Do you know that India prides itself in having the third largest crater in the world?

This bowl-shaped crater also has a large amount of alkaline and salt in it which makes this formation even more interesting and exclusive.
Ladakh is definitely one of the adventurous places in India. But the magnetic hill in this destination is truly intriguing and interesting. Do you know why?

Wait until you check it yourself.
One of the most adorable and astounding natural landscapes in India — the Valley of Flowers is another naturally blessed location that you would admire whole-heartedly. The rich and phenomenal flora and fauna of this Valley of flowers is totally a breathtakingly beautiful site, but the fact that it lies 3,658 meters above the sea level makes it a wonder.
What if we told you that in this age of cement and bricks, we have strong bridges made of living roots? Strange, isn’t it? But, it is the truth. When you reach Meghalaya, you’ll find that the Living Root Bridge is has existed in the Cherrapunji district for the last 500 years. Yes, these roots are of rubber tree and bonded by betel nut tea trunks by the tribe residing in this destination. Since it’s over the river, this fact makes this bridge even more intriguing and interesting.
One of the most amazing places to visit in Odisha is the Chandipur Beach. Rightly called as the Hide and Seek Beach, the sea water of this beach recedes for upto 5 kilometres leaving behind only sand and trees. The same sea water is visible after some time in its full glory. Well, that is what makes this beach a truly remarkable destination to visit and explore.
