Bhangarh, Rajasthan

The village of Bhangarh is located in the Alwar District of Rajasthan and is home to the most dangerous and scariest forts in the country. Rajasthan is a popular destination because of its landscapes, mountains, palaces and temples, but perhaps no place is more beautiful and terrifying than Bhangarh Fort. The Fort has been around since ancient times and is internationally known for its incredible architecture and haunted happenings. Many visitors have even pointed out that while visiting the fort, they constantly feel like they're being followed by someone. The government prohibits anyone from going into this area after sunset because there have been numerous cases of abductions and deaths. So harness all your courage and be swept away by the thrills!

Kalavantin Durg Trek, Raigad

Situated in the Western Ghats of Mumbai, Kalavantin Durg Trek, at 2300 feet is one of the most challenging treks in the country. The path is etched with rock-cut steps, steep slopes and unstable staircases that are deprived of the support of any kind. While the trek to and from the fortress is dangerous, it is every adrenaline junkies dream. The trail gets even steeper and almost vertigo-inducing on the way up. Rain and winds in the middle of the trek make it even more dangerous with a lot of trekkers having to cling onto the steps mid-trek. The downward course of the trek is also challenging as it provides low visibility due to the fog. While the trek is a tough one, once you reach the top, the bird's eye view of the raw beauty and scenic landscapes of neighbouring villages and mountains makes it worthwhile.

Siju, Meghalaya

Known as the 'Scotland of India', Meghalaya is home to majestic hills with unquenchable beauty and some unique spots. One such offbeat location is Siju Caves which is one of the world's longest caves on the Indian subcontinent. Also known as bat caves, it is also one of the most dangerous places in India and has several chambers forming unexplored mazes. The way to the caves also includes a short hike across a jungle trail. Over four kilometres long, these caves have water up to your knees, and the inside of the cave has majestic natural limestone formations and mysterious hanging bridges. This rickety bridge, built of chipping wood and patched rope, is situated high in the mountains between two hills and guarantees to give you more than a few scares! Since the past few years, there has been a growth in airline routes to the region resulting in swifter travelling options.
