Relish The Beauty of India Through These 7 Natural Wonders of The Country

The seven man-made marvels of the world are well known to us all. But have you heard of any of our nation's natural wonders. Yes, you heard correctly. These locations, which were produced by a natural occurrence that occurred in India millions of years ago, are now popular tourist sites in the nation.

The wonders of India are listed below along with information on where to discover them.

1. Magnetic Hill, Leh

A gravity hill that is close to Leh in the Indian region of Ladakh is actually a downhill path. On the road, however, it appears we are moving upward while slipping downward against the force of gravity. There is the appearance of a hill due to the layout of the area and its surroundings.

2. Gurudongmar Lake, Sikkim

This lake is the highest lake in the world and India, rising to a height of 17800 feet. According to mythology, when Guru Nanak visited this lake, he bestowed upon it the blessing of never freezing, even during the harsh winters of the Great Himalayan ranges, and of being used for the benefit of mankind. Buddhists, Sikhs, and Hindus all regard it as a sacred lake.

3. Laitlum Canyon, Meghalaya

Laitlum, which means "end of the village" or "end of the hills" in Khasi, is one of the world's natural wonders and is located 45 kilometers from Shillong, the state's capital. From here, visitors can see the city inside a valley and the rivers that cross it. The only way to get to this peak is by climbing 3000 winding steps with mountains and a valley on either side.

4. Lonar Lake, Maharashtra

This National Geo-Heritage monument, also known as Lonar Crater, is a salty, soda Lake formed by a meteorite impact during the Ice Age, which lasted between 2.8 million and 11000 years ago. Additionally, it is one of only four hyper-velocity impact craters known to exist in basaltic rock on Earth. The remaining three are scattered throughout South Brazil.

5. St. Mary's Island, Karnataka

This collection of islands in the Arabian Sea, off the coast of Udupi, is also referred to as the "Coconut Islands." Vasco Da Gama is thought to have arrived at this island on his quest to discover a sea path to India before continuing on to Kappad Beach (close to Calicut). Malpe Beach's coastline is 4 miles distant from St. Mary's Island, which can be reached by boat in 30 minutes. There is no prospect of spending the night on this island because it is entirely uninhabited.

6. Hogenakkal Falls, South India

These falls are located on the border of Karnataka, 46 kilometers from Dharmapuri. The Cauvery River, a significant river that originates from these falls, enters Tamil Nadu in this region. Due to the smoke-like effect that these Carbonatite rocks produce when water falls on them, the name Hogenakkal is derived from the Kannada phrase Smoky Rock. The rocks in the location are a natural wonder because they are among the oldest of their kind in South America and the world.

7. Chitrakote Falls, Chattisgarh

This is a free-standing waterfall on the Indravati River in the state of Chattisgarh, 38 kilometers from Jagdalpur. One of the widest waterfalls in India, the falls have a height of about 29 meters. This waterfall occasionally goes up to 300 meters wide during the monsoons, earning it the nickname "Niagara Falls."
