The World’s Highest Rail Bridge
Found in: Jammu and Kashmir
Est. Cost: $195,120*
Millions of historical constructions have existed in India for hundreds (if not thousands) of years. However, the current achievements of this magnificent nation have been lost in all of this history. For example, the tallest rail bridge in the world is located in the country’s extreme north. The bridge’s construction began in 2004, and if all goes well, commuters will be able to cross the Chenab River (by rail) from 1,178 feet above. The vistas of the Chenab Range from the Chenab Bridge will take your breath away.

The Amritsar Golden Temple
Found in: Punjab
Est. Cost: $17-$20 Million*
Sri Harmandir Sahib (the Amritsar Golden Temple) is the main spiritual sanctuary in the Sikh religion, built on top of 67 square feet of marble in the mid-1500s. The temple attracts tourists from all around the world, but not everyone comes for religious reasons. The Amritsar Golden Temple welcomes visitors of all faiths (or lack thereof). Visitors are welcome to visit the temple and marvel at the 880 pounds of 24-carat gold leaf that adorns it. Furthermore, the temple serves free vegetarian food to approximately 50,000 guests each day.
