9 bizzare places to visit in india

India is the one of most beautiful country in the world where so many historical places like taj mahal, red fort you can visit but today we are going to talking about some most wonderful place in India which is not human-made like taj mahal but they are different, no one know-how and when it is formed at that place. no science and no scientist can give the answer of that question. 

1)Krishna’s butterball


The Hindu God, Krishna’s love for butter is a known fact. It is also known that Krishna would steal his mother’s butter jar to satiate his appetite. So when this huge rock, perched on a slope in Mahabalipuram (60 kilometres from Chennai) managed to stay on instead of rolling over, it was christened ‘Krishna’s butterball’. Mahabalipuram is a historic town known for stone carvings and many other attractions but this one has to be the most curious one. While believers visit this place to get blessed, other’s are drawn by its unique position and physics-defying ability to cling on to the slope.

2)Ram Setu Bridge


A natural bridge that relates to Hindu mythology, the Ram Setu Bridge is a collection of limestone shoals that connects Rameswaram Island in Tamil Nadu, India to Mannar Island, off the north-western coast of Sri Lanka. This bridge is said to be built for the Hindu god Rama, who journeyed to Lanka using it. It is reported to be passable on foot till the 15th century and is even mentioned in the Sanskrit epic, Ramayana.

3)Nohkalikai Falls

 Located near one of the wettest places on earth, Nohkalikai Falls is one of the tallest plunge waterfalls in India. Apart from being majestically beautiful, the falls have a mystical legend attached to its name which translates into Khasi language as "Jump of Ka Likai". The name follows the legend about a local woman, Likai, who after a family tragedy became insane and jumped off the cliff next to the falls.

4)Rat temple

Home to about 20,000 rats, who are considered to be auspicious, the Karni Mata Temple or the ‘rat temple’ is located in Deshnoke, 30 kilometres from Bikaner in Rajasthan. Dedicated to Karni Mata, this temple was home to the goddess who is believed to have performed several miracles here in the 14th century. Visitors to this temple include devotees who believe that making an offering to the rats here is a way of getting blessed and even those who just want to get a glimpse of this quirky attraction.

5)The roots are alive in Cherrapunji


Cherrapunji is said to record the highest rainfall in India which by logic translates to it being one of the most fertile places in the country. An unusual example of this would the root bridges which are almost 18 inches broad and 6 inches thick and serve as regular bridges that can be walked on.

6)The floating lake


Located in Moirang, Manipur, the Loktak Lake is the world’s only floating lake and the largest freshwater lake in the North-east. It is said to be floating due to the presence of floating vegetation and decomposed organic mass called ‘phumdis’ that grow in it. The lake is big on biodiversity and 233 species of aquatic plants can be found here.

7)The floating Palace in Udaipur


The Lake Palace located amidst the scenic Pichola Lake, on Jag Niwas Island in Udaipur, is popular with honeymooners looking for a romantic getaway. Built by Maharana Jai Singh II in 1746, this palace has now been transformed into a plush hotel managed by the Taj Group of Hotels. But one of the chief reasons why many tourists around the world want to visit this place is because it was shown as the ‘floating palace’ in the Bond film ‘Octopussy’ (1983).

8)The world’s widest tree


Located inside the Indian Botanic Garden or the Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Botanic Garden at Shibpore in Howrah, Kolkata, the Great Banyan Tree has the Guinness World Record for being the widest tree in the world. Spread across 15,665 square metres and with 3,511 prop roots, this fascinating natural wonder is over 300 years old.

9)The village of snakes


India has often been called the ‘land of snake charmers’ but the village called Shetpal in the Sholapur District of Maharastra takes it up a notch. Every house in this village has a pet cobra slithering about, usually in the rafters of the ceilings. Believed to be an idol of the Hindu god Lord Shiva, the residents of this village firmly worship these reptiles and consider them to be sacred. The most fascinating fact about this place is that not a single case of snake biting has been reported here.
