The World in which we live is full of beautiful and unique destinations. A few are very popular because of their natural beauty, but a few are not commonly known. Exploring the beauty of this World is, I think, my best passion, and exploring new, beautiful and unique spots is a wonderful job. This article is an effort to highlight such amazing spots which are not as commonly known. Here in this article, the top ten amazing places to visit are discussed.

Doorway to Hell, Turkmenistan

It is basically a natural gas field and is present near Derweze, Turkmenistan, and in its wideness, it is approximately 70 meters wide. The Door to Hell is been burning continuously for about 35 years. It was first all lit by geologists who were searching for natural gas deposits in 1971. When it was uncovered, it caused destruction by collapsing the ground, and all of the equipment was taken down deep into the earth. And geologists who were working on it dared not to go inside and to bring back their things as it was very risky. And this hole is not yet covered and is burning. In the present time, The Door to Hell has become a tourist’s attention, and people from all over the World visit this place in Turkmenistan.

Mount Roraima

9. Mount Roraima Venezuela (Brazil and Guyana):

Mount Roraima is enlisted as the ninth most visited place in the World and is a very eye-catching place. It is known by another two names, Tepuy Roraima and Cerro Roraima. It is basically a tabletop mountain, and 400 meters of high cliffs surround it from all sides. This remarkable place was, for the very first time, discussed by Sir Walter Raleigh, who was interested in exploring the World in 1596. An amazing thing about it is that it serves three different locations as a border point: Venezuela, Guyana and Brazil. Every single day, rainfall happens on the peak of the mountain just to wash nutrients for plant growth and also to form a different landscape on the sandstone surface area. Mount Roraima is situated in the Guiana Shield, which is on the southeastern side of Venezuela. The highest point is 2810 meters, and that is Maverick Rock.
