This is probably the most famous structure in the country, and one of the most amazing feats of architecture in the world, the Taj Mahal is a gigantic, all-marble tomb built in the mid-17th century. Located in northern India, this structure was commissioned by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan to serve as a burial place for his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal (hence the name, Taj Mahal). The building in made of pure marble stone, making it insanely expensive. According to estimates, the Taj Mahal would cost over 800 million US dollars if it were to be built today. Needless to say, another one probably won’t be built in your neighborhood anytime soon, so, I guess you’ll need to travel to India to see it! The building is a very popular tourist destination for its amazing large size, beautiful gardens and galleries of art from throughout the region. It can take days to truly dig in and enjoy everything the Taj Mahal has to offer. And with 7 to 8 million visitors annually, you may have to be patient maneuvering through the droves of visitors. Number 9: The Ganges River. Located in the northern and eastern areas of India, the Ganges River is another wildly popular tourist spot. Many ancient cities sit on the banks of the famous river, so feel free to pick any one and enjoy checking out the river from an ancient Indian city. Before we talk about the specifics of the Ganges, take a moment to subscribe to our channel for more fabulous videos from Zero2Hero!

Unfortunately, from years and years of use and lack of environmental laws governing it, the Ganges River has become heavily polluted. Between its length and its pollution, we wouldn’t recommend trying to spend too much time swimming in this river. The river is very popular among local Hindus, who worship the goddess Ganga and perform rituals in the waters as a sign of faith. Events are held throughout the year at different locations where crowds of believers will swim in the river to be cleansed and worship their gods. Number 8: The Golden Temple. One of the most popular locations in Sikhism, the Golden Temple is a sacred temple which was built in the 16th century in the northern region of India. Also known as “The Adobe of God”, the temple holds the Adi Granth, the most sacred text in the Sikh religion. While it was built by Sikhs, the Golden Temple is meant to be an open location for all religions. This is why up to 100,000 people visit the temple every single day. It’s best to come by at an off-hour to beat the crowds as best you can. When they say “golden” temple, they really mean it. This building is literally covered with solid gold plates, 1,653 pounds worth, to be exact. Needless to say, it is a very expensive structure. Don’t try to take one, though, as each one weighs… well, a lot, probably. And…it’s illegal. Number 7: Humayun’s Tomb. One of the oldest and most popular tourist destinations in India, Humayun’s tomb was completed in 1572 in the north of India. The tomb was built for emperor Humayun by his wife after he died. The building took decades to build and is known for its mix of Asian and Persian styles of architecture. Unfortunately for this popular place, it has been ravaged by weather and war for centuries. It is always being repaired and restored, but there’s no way to know for sure that it looks now exactly like it did when it was completed in the 16th century. Thanks to housing an emperor’s body, it became a popular burial place for many other prominent leaders of the time and region. Now, dozens of leaders from the 16th century have been buried at the massive tomb site. Number 6: Rama Setu and Tamil Nadu. Islands are always a fun spot to visit in any country, especially ones that may not be there the next time you visit. Rama Setu and Tamil Nadu are not exactly islands as much as they are land bars, nearly under water at this point. Nevertheless, the area looks amazing. The story goes that an ancient king had the land bars built as a way to link India and Sri Lanka. While there is no proof, the story gives Indians and Sri Lankans a story of positivity and hope for even better a link between the nations.
