Top 5 Unusual World Wonders!


TOP 5 UNUSUAL WORLD WONDERS

1 Tiger’s Nest Monastery, Bhutan
Unusual World Wonders Seen On www.coolpicturegallery.usClinging to the edge of a 900m cliff, Taktshang Goemba (Tiger’s Nest Monastery) is famous in Bhutan but like so much of the remote kingdom, little-known outside. The monastery is not open to visitors but you can hike to a viewpoint to take in the epic scenery.

2 My Son, Vietnam

Yet it’s an incredible, eerie site of towering temples, covered in jungle creepers.

3.Ek Balam, Mexico

4. Lalibela rock churches, Ethiopia

5. Choquequirao, Peru

  10. I really like the Tiger’s Nest Monastery in Bhutan. It just shows how amazingly well humans can actually build buildings pretty much anywhere they want! I did not know about this and I thank you for sharing it. I might even visit it one day. :)

  18. I wonder how many restrictions there are getting to these locations. For example, I know to visit Ethiopia from the states you have to get so many shots, not to mention the paper work.
