Andhra Pradesh has a temple that has a 20ft. pillar hanging in the air. The Lepakshi temple - the temple of lord Veerbhadhra - the fiery god created by Shiva has 70 pillars holding the shrine but one pillar hangs from the ceiling. It is believed that a British engineer tried to move the pillar to uncover the secret of the temple but was unsuccessful and the pillar remains dislodged to date.

Want to drive an automatic car without owning a Tesla? Well, this place will drive your car automatically when parked at a particular spot. There is a magnetic hill in Ladakh that is believed to defy gravity. However, it is said that the optical illusion created by the mountains in the landscape makes the downhill appear as an uphill and the car actually goes downwards but appears to be moving up. 

Where: Magnetic Hill, Srinagar - Ladakh Highway, Ladakh.

5. Trek to the Reverse Waterfall in Maharashtra

After a hill that takes your car backward, it's time for a waterfall that flows upwards. Naneghat Waterfall in Pune, Maharashtra is one of the unique nature phenomena where the water flows in the reverse direction. There is no rocket science behind it but a simple reason that the wind flows fiercly in the opposite direction and changes the course of the waterfall. But this view is worth witnessing once.

Where: Naneghat Reverse Waterfall, Naneghat Rd, Taluka Junnar, Maharashtra. 

6. A Day at Eleday in Jaipur
