India boasts of some remarkable natural features that confuse researchers and astonish tourists. They are a mixture of geological curiosities, rare ecology and inexplicable processes that bring a feeling of mystery, which makes us question our normal perception of nature.

1. Magnetic Hill, Ladakh

2. Lonar Lake, Maharashtra

Lonar Lake is one of the few hyper-velocity impact craters in basalt rock in the world that was formed by a meteorite impact that happened approximately 52,000 years ago. Its water chemistry is special, and its colour also varies with the season, which aroused scientific investigations.

3. Balancing Rock, Mahabalipuram

The Butter Ball of Krishna, as it is commonly referred to in the area, is a 250-tonne granite boulder that is resting on a sloping hill. It is completely unaffected by weathering, earthquakes, and time, and thus, the geologists and visitors are left wondering how it stays steady.

4. Chandipur Beach, Odisha

During low tide, the sea here is drawn off by nearly five kilometres, leaving behind it a great sandy expanse. This unique tidal motion enables the tourists to walk deep into the seabed and see the ocean receding slowly as the tide goes out.

5. Phumdis of Loktak Lake, Manipur.

Floating islands of vegetation are called phumdis and are found in Loktak Lake. These flow and transform with time, nurturing exclusive wildlife and even tiny settlements. The phumdis are shifting, and thus, the lake has a surreal look with its constantly changing appearance.

6. Meghalaya Living Root Bridges

These natural bridges can be a hundred years old and can be built by weaving the roots of rubber trees in the air. They become more robust over time and can withstand heavy monsoon rains, and combine manmade ingenuity with natural development.

7. Bhedaghat, Madhya Pradesh, Marble Rocks

The water has cut through the white marble in tremendous cliffs that tower along the Narmada River. In these boat rides, we can see glittering rock faces and resounding gorges which appear almost supernatural in the moonlight.

These seven wonders indicate that the landscapes of India continue to be enigmatic, as they cannot be explained by human beings. Being there is not merely a sightseeing exercise, but an opportunity to observe nature in terms of its unbelievable creativity in action.
