Universe is full of amazing wonders, and planet earth is one of them. The blue planet appears like a marble from space but it is full of various types of natural wonders. As it is said, ‘there is no better artist than mother nature herself.’
Traveling is a part of spiritual reformation in us. As we travel, we realize how trivial our ego is in front of nature’s majestic display of its unmatched creations. A man who has never witnessed and appreciated nature is less likely to comprehend the concept of harmony with nature. Nature has can carve giant mountains, waterfalls, and it can play with every existing element. Traveling can bring us closer to nature. As treat for eyes and food for thought, take this small trip of 17 insanely beautiful natural wonders from around the world:

Hello, great post but just wanted to say that that is not a picture of the White Cliffs of Dover, it is Beachy Head in Sussex. Dover is in Kent, 75 miles away from that spot. In the spirit of this post I would highly recommend visitors check out the Seven Sisters Country Park (East Sussex, nr Beach Head) for the best white cliff views. The area is often erroneously used to depict Dover in images and films because Dover is historically significant but the Seven Sisters are more picturesque. Case in point is Robin Hood Prince of Thieves: Costner was filmed at the Seven Sisters, purportedly Dover.
