10 Experiences You Wouldn’t Believe You Can Have In India
As an ardent traveler, you might have witnessed many phenomena
that tickle your adventurous side. But did you know that some of
them you could actually witness in India? Even we didn’t which ones.
So after much exploration, we discovered some and thus bring you
10 best of the ones we came across.
1. Camping Under the Milky Way in Ladakh
You must have heard of the Milky Way Galaxy in your primary classes,
but have you ever had a chance to actually view this starry collection
with naked eyes? I am sure it’s a no for most of you, because it’s a
rare experience for those who have visited to Ladakh. Try ‘Milky Way
camping’ under the night sky, amidst the serenity of Ladakh and
fulfill this starry fantasy of yours.
2. See Stars Floating Right Below Your Feet:
BIOLUMINESCENCE in Lakshadweep and Andaman Islands
Who could have imagined that tiny lighted galaxies and miniscule stars
would one day float under your feet and not only in the blue sky? See this
happen during the wee hours in Lakshadweep and Andaman Islands,
where water glows as you row your boat through them. Bioluminescence,
the amazing phenomenon that you saw in life of pie, is not as captivating
as it is Maldives or Puerto Rico.
3. Chir Batti in Gujarat and The Aleya
Ghost Lights in West Bengal
Remember the whisps that led Merida to the witch in ‘Brave’? Well,
they ‘re real! They’re no ordinary lights, nor of a celestial object. Is it
a ghost, well, maybe! ‘Ghost lights’, Aleya or whisp are regularly seen
in Gujarat and even in West Bengal. According to the folklore, these
lights appear when it’s completely dark and if followed can draw you
astray. Don’t believe us? Try it then, but at your own risk!
*[N.B: They’ve never been photographed. It’s very difficult to
catch hold of them!]
4. The Chilly Weather of Lambasingi
Looks like a hill station in north India, right? But Lambasingi is a typical
small village in Andhra Pradesh. Yes, it’s weird, but it’s absolutely worth
experiencing! So pack your bags and head towards Visakhapatnam to
visit this village that witnesses freezing temperatures even in the summer.
5. Magnetic Hill in Ladakh
Go ahead, try doing what the caption above states. The Magnetic Hill
in Ladakh is known to defy all norms of gravity. Do as described in the
signage and see your vehicle moving uphill on its own at a speed of
10 to 20 kmph. I bet this would have given Newton sleepless nights!
6. Gurudongmar Lake in Sikkim
Lying at the highest point in Sikkim, Gurudongmar lake remains frozen in
winters and offers the most panoramic view amidst the magnificent hills.
But the weird things about it is that a part of the lake remains unfrozen
even during peak winters. The reason for this phenomenon is not known yet.
7. Hot Water Springs in Manikaran, Barkeswar, Jakrem,
Badrinath and Tata Pani
You thought Manikaran is the only hot water spring in India? If yes,
you are not alone is assuming it. In reality, India has a number of
them – there is one in Sohna hot spring in Gurgaon; Garampani
Wildlife Sanctuary in Karbi Anglong, Assam; Unapdev and Sunapdeo
Maharashtra; Chumathang, Ladakh; Bendrutheertha in Puttur,
Karnataka; and a couple of them in Sikkim. So go ahead, find one
that is nearest to you and de-stress your muscles naturally!
8. The Vanishing Beach of Chandipur in Orissa
Yes, it’s astounding to see the sea water vanishing in front of your eyes
making the beach secluded with only the shells left behind. This rare
phenomenon happens twice a day at Chandipur beach, but the water
again comes rhythmically to kiss the shore!
9. Floating Lake of Loktak in Manipur
Have you ever seen islands floating on a lake? If not, visit Loktak lake
in Manipur. The floating islands have huts constructed on them by the
locals and even a National park is built on one of them. Too
different to believe right?
10. Trek on the Frozen River
Yes, we are talking about the popular Chadar Trek on the frozen
Zanskar river. It is one of the most breathtaking experiences you
can have in India. With secluded villages, hidden caves and
Buddhist monasteries, this frozen lake trek is an amazing way
to unveil the unmatched beauty of India!
With all these wonderful destinations and their rare
experiences, you cannot feel boredom at the
astounding land of India!
