Just like Ajabgarh and Bhangarh, the village of Kuldhara was abandoned overnight but the remains of the village are still there. Most prominent is the temple and the various little houses that people lived in. The village is said to be haunted and many supernatural activities have been reported. If you do get a chance to visit before sunset and after sunrise, the beauty of this once-flourishing village is well worth it.
14. Longkhum, Nagaland
Longkhum has breathtaking views of mountains and valleys surrounding it and is home to a precipice of eagles who are believed by local people to be spirits of the dead.
Major tourist attractions include the Mata Yimkong - the top of the hillock where once stood a fortress and the students' Jubilee Tower, the highest point of the village. The footprints preserved on a rock surface, believed to be of Chenna and Etiben the Romeo and Juliet of the Ao Naga tribe, is another interesting spot worth visiting.
15. Dharali, Uttarakhand
The village of Dharali is 2 km away from Harsil, across the Bhagirathi river. Views are said to be better of the mountains and valleys as well as of the turbulent river. The hustle and bustle of Yatris headed towards Gangotri is also less in comparison.
In winter, the idol of Goddess Ganga is brought to Dharali as a winter retreat.
16. Tumling, border of West Bengal and Nepal
On the way to the popular trekking destination, Tumling is a small hamlet inhabited by a few Nepali families and is right on the border of West Bengal and the Himalayan nation. Indian citizens and foreigners do not require a visa.
At the center of Tumling, there is a view point where you can get magnificent views of the Kanchenjunga snow peaks. On the left is the Sandakphu peak. There is a signboard here pointing towards the Singalila National Park ahead. Entry to the park is about 1 km from Tumling. There is also a trekking trail towards Tonglu.
