Ghost towns and abandoned cities

"Nature reclaims what humans abandon, leaving behind a haunting beauty that echoes with stories untold."

India has many incredible stories about ghost places and abandoned cities. I feel very curious in exploring such places and their back story. They all have fascinating glimpses of history.

Let me start with the one I have experienced this year in Rajasthan. Rajasthan is considered to have the greatest number of ghost towns and cities.

Kuldhara village, Jaisalmer:

In the 19 th century, villagers of Kuldhara were forced to leave their homes due to the cruel and brutal rule of the local Diwan, Salim Singh. This cryptic place is believed to be cursed by the villagers that that no one can inhabit it again. God did not want us to visit Kuldhara and so, we tried going there thrice but couldn’t because of some reasons. My experience was interesting but full of difficulties. I had the interest to explore and hence I did it.

Few more such sites are Bhangarh fort (in the list of top 10 haunted places in the world), Talwa, Dumas Lakhpat, Rose Island, etc.

Each site holds secrets and stories that go beyond time, making them simulating for people of all ages. Whether a history lover or a thrill seeker, such places make it a captivating destination to explore.

These places offer a unique glimpse into the past, blending historical architecture with mysterious folklore.

I'm eager to uncover the truth behind these legends all the time.

And yes, at the end, you would feel the solace within you. It is a quite delightful time for me. When the rain starts pouring, I leave all my stress and sit in my balcony, enjoying the view and the soothing rhythm of rain fall. It suddenly becomes a comfortable environment that I snug up into my beanbag and read a book while eating some fresh meal. I even wear some cozy clothes to keep me warm. Sometimes, I get lost in the beauty of nature. After rains, when I step out of my house to get some fresh air, the fragrance of soil attracts me everywhere, whereas the flowers bloom in fresh gardens. Cool breeze blows on my face and the leaves gliste...
