Global warming is leading to climatic and environmental changes, which is thereby leading to various problems. And not just that! It is because of our this ignorant behavior over the decades that many beautiful and scenic landscapes are getting reduced to devastated ruins.

Here is a list of 5 such places that are so beautiful that no words can do justice to how alluring they actually look but sadly, these places will disappear soon!

Chadar Trek Trail

The frozen Zanskar River and the trail of Chadar trek is one of the most anticipated and beautiful treks of the country. The river itself is enormous and to witness it in such a huge form of life in the summers which turn into a calm yet unpredictable path for the locals in the winter is a not-to-be-missed opportunity.

However, due to the changes in the landscape and the road being constructed connecting Zanskar with Leh will be ruining this trek’s natural essence! The trekking trail is said to vanish amongst the construction of the road and the rapid environmental changes that are happening. So, if you are a someone who loves trekking, then make sure you experience this majestic one-of-a-kind trek as soon as possible!

Balpakram Forest

The Balpakram forest has some more exciting names such as the ‘Land of Spirits’ and the ‘Land of Perpetual Winds’ and is located near the Garo Hills in Meghalaya. It offers scenic landscapes, the magnificent canyon and various legends hidden related to the history of Garo hills. With many threats that this place faces, it should come as no surprise that you need special permission from the Wildlife Authorities to explore this region. Deforestation and the rise in construction surrounding this area has made it endangered and it is predicted to completely vanish within a few years.

Sunderbans

Sunderbans is in West Bengal and is popular as the world’s largest single section of tidal mangrove!

While exploring this breathtaking place, there are many chances of encountering the famed beauty of the Bengal Tiger. These mangroves are also the largest Tiger reserve in India and home to a variety of endangered species. However, it is predicted to go into the history books in the coming decade because of climate change, which resulted in negative impact such as sea levels rising, soil erosion and floods.

Hampi Ruins

People who have visited Hampi, claim that it is like being teleported into the time of Kings, courtesans, and sheer opulence. The land of ruins, the site of the erstwhile Vijayanagara Empire is a must-visit for history and art buffs. It also offers monolithic sculptures, vast temples, stone auditoriums, exquisite carvings and so much more in a land dotted with boulders and the occasional greenery. Many of the monuments here are already in a state of much ruin and the others have not responded well to the preservation works. This place should be visited soon before all the structures are completely ruined.

Dechen Namgyal Monastery

Among the oldest monasteries in India, the Dechen Namgyal Monastery is said to have been built somewhere in the 17th century. Apart from the age, its location adds to its beauty, making it even more stunning. Sitting high at 14000 ft above sea level in Nyoma, Ladakh, the monastery with its beautiful architecture serves as the temple and home to just ten monks. With no more monks visiting the place in the past decade and the current monks expressing their desire to shift to a more Buddhist – centric monastery, this place must be visited before it is abandoned and is left for ruins.

With various natural disasters recurring in the last few months like Kerala’s floods, landslides in Himachal, etc.. it is high time now that we must act responsibly. This is nature’s way of warning us to ‘act’ before it’s too late!
