Busy in the concrete jungle, juggling our 9-5 job takes a toll on human mind and body. And nature has provided us with ample bountiful beauties that make it a sin not to visit or cherish them to enjoy them. Here is a list of such 10 out of many natural marvels nature has bestowed us with:

1. Marvel at Mount Everest- Nepal

The tallest mountain in the world, climbing Everest is the ultimate test of physical endurance. But if you can’t make it to the summit, or even base camp, you can view this peak in all its glory from the window of a plane. Most domestic airlines offer scenic flights, which are available from Pokhara and other locations.

2. A carnival of lights- The northern lights-Norway

On a very basic level the northern lights are quite simple to explain. The lights come at night when the sky is dark. It’s like a celestial ballet of light dancing across the night sky, with a colour palette (green, pink, violet). It is often said that the Northern parts of Norway are the best places in the world to see the northern lights.

3. Sea Of Stars in Maldives

The surreal beach in Vaadhoo Island, Raa Atoll, Maldives is where the  phenomena occur which is basically  due to its glowing blue waves caused by a natural chemical reaction known as bioluminescence, which occurs when a microorganism in the water is disturbed by oxygen. It’s definitely a fantasy-like experience but before you roll over in search for that specific beach.

4. A hike on the Grand Canyon- USA

Even the most skeptical of travelers becomes awestruck at the sight of the Grand Canyon’s massive expanse of gorges, ridges, and rock formations. So simply enjoying the view — from a variety of vantage points — is an activity that could take hours. One of the best ways to see the canyon is on a hiking tour that takes you to the bottom.
