visit Hawa Mahal is in the early morning, right when the sun is rising. As the
palace bathes in the golden light of the sun, it looks like a fantastic image
conjured up by the mind in a trance. The palace glows like an impalpable dream,
which makes you feel that even if you dare blink your eyes, it will quickly
dissolve into thin air.

latticed windows to experience the fascinating interplay of gazes set up by the
structure. The entrance is from the rear of the building.

of Golkonda from 1512. Their first capital, the fortress citadel of
Golkonda, was rebuilt for defense from invading Mughals from the north. They laid out Golkonda's splendid monuments, now in ruins, and designed a perfect acoustical
system by which a hand clap sounded at the fort's main gates, the grand
portico, was heard at the top of the citadel, situated on a 300-foot
(91 m)-high granite hill. This is one of the fascinating features of the
fort.

Manaraka Falls- INDIA
In a country that holds a special place in our hearts, this gorgeous 580m waterfall is easily New Zealand's most spectacular waterfall and makes our list. Given its remote location deep in the wild and beautiful Fordland National Park (also a World Heritage Area), it's one of many highlights of the Milford Track - said to be one of the finest walks in the world.
Plunging 580m in three distinct vertical leaps, it is amongst the tallest waterfalls in the world. There's a memorable story about how this waterfall got named, which you can read more about in this book .
This waterfall also vies with Browne Falls as well as Bluff Falls for the title of tallest waterfall in New Zealand. Depending on your definition of a waterfall, some people (such as the authors of the World Waterfall Database) would say that both Browne and Bluff trumps Sutherland in height. Either way, there's no denying that it's Sutherland that's the most spectacular as it has the steepest slope and the most satisfying shape.

Giza pyramid - Egypt
Egypt is one of the most populous countries in Africa and the Middle
East. The great majority of its over 81 million people[4]
live near the banks of the Nile River, in an area of about 40,000 square
kilometers (15,000 sq mi), where the only arable
land is found. The large areas of the Sahara
Desert are sparsely inhabited. About half of Egypt's residents live in
urban areas, with most spread across the densely populated centres of
greater Cairo,
Alexandria
and other major cities in the Nile
Delta.
Monuments in Egypt such as the Giza pyramid complex and its Great Sphinx were constructed by its ancient
civilization. Its ancient ruins, such as those of Memphis, Thebes, and Karnak and
the Valley of the Kings outside Luxor, are a
significant focus of archaeological study. The tourism industry and the Red Sea Riviera employ about 12% of Egypt's workforce.
The economy of Egypt is one of the most
diversified in the Middle East, with sectors such as tourism,
agriculture, industry and service at almost equal production levels.
Helix Bridge - Singapore
The Helix Bridge is one of the few, if any, bridges in the world to be
named after its structure. In addition to its uniqueness of structure
and form, it was designed to respond to its particular setting at the
opening of the Singapore River to Marina Bay, a large inner harbor on
which much of the city is now focused.
The concept derived initially from the desire to curve the plan of the bridge so that it sweeps down onto promenades either side. This ‘arc’ was also means of curving the pedestrian bridge away from an adjoining new vehicular bridge, also designed by the same team, while enabling the two to connect at a mid-point.
