If there is one place in the world that is worth visiting for its historical sites that would be India, home to one of the seven wonders of the world as well as many other breathtaking places. If you are thinking about coming to this country and you are looking for accommodation, you can take a look at what many people paying guest classifieds in India have to say.
I don’t believe there is anyone in this planet that has not heard of Taj Mahal before and can’t even picture it in his or her mind. This amazing place is a World Heritage site since 1983. It is made of marble and originally built as a mausoleum by the Mughal emperor in the memory of his wife. It took almost two decades to complete and around 30 different kinds of precious stones were used during its construction.
After Taj Majal, the most popular tourist destination in India, it is hard to say what comes next. If we are looking for villages or cities, Hampi is definitely a great option. Here we can find amazing ruins of what once was the capital of Vijayanagar, one of the greatest Hindu empires. Then there is also the city of Fatehpur Sikri, the former capital of the Mughal Empire. The city has been preserved almost as a medieval museum, since it became a ghost town shortly after its construction due to lack of access to water.
If instead of cities you are thinking monuments, the Khajuraho Temples are pretty interesting and somewhat unusual. There are over 20 temples dedicated to sexuality, love and life, with numerous sculptures and detailed carvings. Something that is worth seeing with your own eyes. The same thing goes for the Ajanta and Ellora caves. There are over 30 caves from between the 6th and 11th centuries and another 30 caves dating back to the 2nd century BC. These are caves that were built by hand and are still greatly known for their amazing architecture.
Among other very popular destinations in India we can find Shimla, Munnar, Himachal Pradesh, Periyar, Kerala, Goa, and so on.
