mountains, fauna, adventure sports, luxury hotels, historical monuments, a cultural treat for all the senses... The experience will leave you a little
exhausted; because in every moment, there's so much to live.
If you think you've seen everything there is to see, you couldn't be more wrong. India isn't called Incredible India for nothing. This wonderful land is
riddled with more mysteries and astonishing things than Alice or Dorothy could ever have imagined.
Sometimes uncanny and sometimes uplifting, India is full of surprises. Every corner of this wonderland has something waiting to be unraveled, just

5. The Curious Case Of Twins - Kodinhi (Kerala) and Umri (near Allahabad)
Kodinhi, a sleepy little town tucked away in the Malappuram district of Kerala, has managed to baffle scientists across the world. In a population of
2000, Kodinhi has 350 pairs of identical twins! It has rightfully earned the title of 'Twin Town.' 6 pairs of twins in every 1000 births is considered a
high twinning rate. Kodinhi has a rate of 42 twins per 1000 births. This means, almost every family in Kodinhi has more than one pair of twins!

Mohammedpur Umri village, near Allahabad has a similar tale to tell. With over 60 pairs of identical twins in a total population of 900, Umri's
twinning rate is 300 times the national average, and perhaps the highest in the world. Researchers believe that the cause might lie in the genes, but
for others, it is the divine hand.

13. India's Highest and Most Tragic Waterfall- Nohkalikai Falls, Meghalaya
At a height of 1115 feet, the Nohkalikai Falls near Cherrapunji is India's highest plunge waterfall. Fed naturally by rainwater, this waterfall is named
after the tragic tale of a woman called Ka Likai. After the death of her husband, Ka Likai remarried. But her new husband was extremely jealous of
her love for her daughter. He murderd the daughter, and to hide the evidence, cooked up her remains into a meal. Kali Kai searched high and low
for her daughter but cannot find her. Her husband offers her the meal, as she is exhausted. After eating, she discovers to her horror, the daughter's
fingers lying in basket filled with betel-nuts. Grieved and anguished, she throws herself off the cliff, giving the waterfall its name, 'Nohkalikai'
meaning 'Fall of Ka Likai.'

One life just isn't enough to see all that there is to see in Incredible India. Maybe that's why we Indians believe in reincarnation.

The floating stones are pumice stones which have bubbles of gases trapped
inside them, hence they float. Nothing miraculous in that.
