From the stunning Taj Mahal in Agra to the ancient caves of Ajanta, these sites are like open history books. Some are built by humans, like the beautiful temples of Hampi, while others are natural wonders, like the mountains of the Western Ghats where rare animals and plants live.
Each site has its own tale – some go back thousands of years! These places aren’t just old buildings or pretty spots, they’re treasures that belong to everyone on Earth. That’s why UNESCO, a global organization, helps protect them.
As of 2024, India proudly holds 43 World Heritage Sites, and more are constantly being considered. Here’s a look at the top UNESCO Heritage Sites that capture the essence of India’s history, art, and natural beauty.
