India is indeed a much diversified country with a lot of different venues to visit and a very amazing experience to take away. Indeed, many known and offbeat will attract the tourist but the below listed places will give the visitor a very capricious exposure that they would remember throughout their life. Some of these have a certain mysticism attached to that as well as further exploration can be done too. One will not need to plan for most of these but just pick out some time to make a detour from their travel schedule.
1. Tiffin Top or Dorothy's Seat: - This is at a distance of approximately 4 kms from the town of Nainital. One can access it via, Lands End, Sherwood College, Bara Pather and Ayarpatta. Walking up to the top is the most thrilling experience but if ease is the mantra that one chants then a pony ride can be sought from Bara Pather. Once at the top, one can see the mesmerizing view of the Nainital township and the incredible Himalayas
2. Balancing Rock (Mahabalipuram):- Situated at 60km away from Chennai in the famous city of Mahabalipuram, this is largely known as the Butter Ball of Krishna. It is a massive rock boulder resting on a rock base that is very narrow. It is perched on such a tiny surface area that at times the travellers are apprehensive to stand anywhere closer to it. A must see place for all the shutterbugs.
3. Balancing Rock (Jabalpur):- Another rock that balances itself perfectly is settled in Madhya Pradesh's city of Jabalpur, at the Madan Mahal Fort base. This is an eroded volcanic rock formation, which is balancing itself on the other rock. This weathering rock is very much in a hanging position that makes it so much popular among the tourists. While in central India, one must visit Jabalpur and see this rock for themselves.
4. Sand Dunes of Sam: - If not careful, one can end up losing themselves in the Thar desert right outside Jaiselmer at Sam. These sand dunes stretch for miles and miles so it makes for a fantastic point to witness both the sunset and sunrise. Hence, an overnight stay would enhance the experience of the traveller.
5. Duke's Nose or Nagphani: - This is a cliff near Lonavala, at Khandala and resembles to an aggressive hooded snake's head, thus the name, Nagphani. Atop the cliff, a small shrine is made by unknown people. One can see the Mumbai-Pune road and the adjoining rail corridors as well the ghats of Sahyadri.
6. Spiti Valley: - This is one of the heavenly spots on the face of earth. It is a desert mountain valley, which is around 400 km from the hill station Shimla. It is separated from the Kullu Valley by the famous Rohtang Pass and reaching here or even crossing it is not an easy task to accomplish. Adventure seekers tend to ride through this valley towards Leh on their Royal Enfield Bullet. The word 'Spiti' means 'the middle country,' which it truly is.
7. Lonar Crater Lake: - This is the biggest impact crater in the basalt rock across the entire globe at a diameter of nearly 1.83 km, with a depth of 150 meters. As per the findings, 50,000 years ago a meteorite hit this spot and thus the crater was formed. The entire area has a variety of unusual flora and fauna that is not found elsewhere. It also acts as a host to multiple species of migrating birds.
