Most Stunning locations on Earth
1. Munnar, Kerala, India
Stunning hill station, once a retreat for the British royal elite, is perched high in the Western Ghats and offers views of lush green plantations and misty hilltops. Tea plantations, first established by the Scottish, dot the area and one frequently sees (or hears) mischievous elephants crashing through the foliage. This place is also famous for the elusive Neelkurinji flowers that bloom once every twelve years. The next event will be held in 2030.
2. Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, Kyoto, Japan
One of Kyoto’s most charming locations is Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, and it is understandable why. The long, rich green stalks of bamboo filter light from above, creating a mystical ambiance below. Located on the western outskirts of Kyoto, in the Arashiyama region, it is a nationally recognized Historic Site and Place of Scenic Beauty, shared with the hamlet of Kiyotaki, Tenryu-ji temple, and the Moon Crossing Bridge.
3. Antelope Canyon, Arizona, USA
Over thousands of years, rushing water carved the canyons of Antelope Canyon in Arizona, eroding sandstone pathways and creating characteristic curves that remain today. Upper Antelope Canyon, also known as Crack, and Lower Antelope Canyon, sometimes known as Corkscrew, are two distinct slot canyons that create a breathtaking view. Many people are not aware of this.
5.Kinkaku-ji, Kyoto, Japan
The formal name of this Zen Buddhist temple is Rokun-ji, but it’s easy to see how it became the more colloquial Kinkaku-ji, or Golden Temple. The building’s ethereal appeal is enhanced by the warm yellow glow and its location bordering the mirror pool, giving the built structure the impression of floating on water. Built in 1397 as a luxurious retreat for the military ruler Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the house was later turned into a temple after he died in 1408.
6. Mont-Saint-Michel, Normandy, France
Situated in a stunning harbor that straddles both Normandy and Brittany, Mont-Saint-Michel is a small tidal island topped by a medieval monastery. Accessible only at low tide, it is one of the most memorable sites in Europe. The fairytale monastery is enchanting at any time of the day, but turns a soft pink in the late afternoon when the sun sets.
7. Pena Palace, Sintra, Portugal
Pena Palace may be called a palace, but it’s actually a fortress and it doesn’t get much more beautiful than this. Nestled in high Sintra, just outside Lisbon, its butter-yellow turrets and brick-red turrets tower above the trees. King Ferdinand II commissioned a work of polychromatic beauty, a prime example of 19th-century Romantic architecture. It was completed in 1854 and has served as the residence of the Portuguese royal family ever since.
8. Cappadocia, Turkey
Here, a group of brightly colored hot air balloons can be seen soaring over the ancient Cappadocia region in central Turkey. The distinctive rock formations in the area, called fairy chimneys, were sculpted by erosion and volcanic activity. Cappadocia is a popular tourist destination for hot air balloon fans as well as for those who want to gaze up at the cliffs from above because of the strange terrain below.
