Top 5 Mysterious Places in India

1. Roopkund (Skeleton Lake)

Roopkund (locally known as Mystery and Skeletons Lake)is a high altitude glacial lake in the Uttarakhand state of India. It lies in the lap of Trishul massif and is famous for the hundreds of human skeletons found at the edge of the lake. The area is uninhabited, in the Himalayas at an altitude of 5,029 metres (16,499 feet). Surrounded by rock-strewn glaciers and snow-clad mountains, the lake is a popular trekking destination

Roopkund's skeletons were featured in a National Geographic documentary "Riddles Of The Dead: Skeleton Lake.

2. Jatinga valley of death for birds

Jatinga valley is located in Dima Hasao District, Assam State in India. It is 330 kilometres (210 mi) south of Guwahati. It is most famous for the phenomenon of birds "committing suicide". Although the birds do not commit suicide and are actually killed, the myth of the suicides has spread far and wide among common people.^[1] The village is inhabited by about 2,500 Khasi-pnar tribal people and few Dimasa people.

3.Magnet Hill 

Magnet Hill is a "gravity hill" located near Leh in Ladakh, India.^[1] The layout of the area and surrounding slopes creates anoptical illusion that the downhill road is actually an uphill road. Objects and cars on the hill may appear to roll "uphill" in defiance of gravity when they are, in fact, rolling downhill.

The illusion is similar to the Ames room, in which balls can also appear to roll against gravity.

4.Red rain in kottayam (Kerala) 

The Kerala red rain phenomenon was a blood rain event that occurred from 25 July to 23 September 2001, when heavy downpours of red-coloured rain fell sporadically on the southern Indian state of Kerala, staining clothes pink. Yellow, green, and black rain was also reported. Coloured rain was also reported in Kerala in 1896 and several times since, most recently in June 2012, and from 15 November 2012 to 27 December 2012 in eastern and north-central provinces of Sri Lanka.

The science fiction film Red Rain was loosely based on the red rain in Kerala story. It was directed by Rahul Sadasivan and released in India on 6 December 2013.
