Falco, post your World Heritage Sites, I want to see the pic  :rolleyes:

Hahaha, there's nothing much to see here. :p Here's a quick list. :) Though our country is best known for its chocolate and fries, not to forget our beer culture which is on UNESCO's list of cultural heritage. :D

Nothing wants to kill you - no deadly spiders, snakes, volcanoes, earthquakes, few diseases (and free healthcare in case).

Also we have a great history...

 

Disadvantages: sun? What's that?

Shampoo was invented in India, not the commercial liquid ones but the method by use of herbs. The word 'shampoo' itself has been derived from the Sanskrit word champu, which means to massage.

The ‘Mecca’ of all road trips in India, the Manali-Leh Highway has always been a favourite. Be it for the groups or solo travellers, this route outshines any other backpacking trips in India. All -you need to do: get geared up for some adventure, hit the road and reach nowhere! Passing mountains and villages, passing people who are going about their business in a more simple way what will get you appreciate both nature and simplicity.

My home country, Kenya, is a nation with a wonderful collection of friendly and out-going people. It is true that we have not had a very stable history, but my people have united against innumerable odds to leave the past behind and produce an incredibly caring environment. Kenya has become a new advocate for democracy in Africa, and regularly boasts champions in international competitions such as the Olympics.Kenya-Flag.png

  • Nicobar Islands

Tribes-of-Nicobar-Islands1.jpg

 

 


Unlike the Andamans, the Nicobar Islands are untouched and pristine. The forests are lush and the beaches are surreal beyond explanation. However, foreigners would require passes to enter the Islands and no visitor is allowed to enter the tribal belts unless for some special purposes like research. And even for that one will have to go through rigorous formalities.

 

 

  • Barren Islands, Andaman


The-smoldering-volcano-in-Barren-Island-

 

 


The only active volcano in India is located in the Barren Island of Andaman and Nicobar. You can see red-hot lava and smoke erupting from the mouth of the volcano for a distance inside the safety of a small ship. However, no one is allowed to get any closer to the hill due to safety reasons.

Whatever place you're copy-pasting all this from is probably not trustworthy. Nainital is far from the biggest towns in India, lol.
