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!
