    Environmentalists have been warning us time and again, but are we listening? It’s time to speed up with your travel plans as several of nature’s blessings might just disappear in the near future. While Australia’s breathtaking beauty of the world’s largest coral reef is being bleached by increased water temperatures and pollution, the rotting wooden foundations and the corroding façade are undermining the epitome of love- Taj Mahal. Watch this video to learn about more places that might vanish before you even block your tickets!

        Very Well said .... i agree on this point. Once people have money they go vising and shopping to Malaysia, Europe and other place but what about India. Its so much to see in India. i would suggest to Visit whole India and then for other places ....

      If the wooden foundation is rotting due to the lack of water in the Yamuna,well then ,Govt should look into the alternative of having a check dam on the two extreme ends ,atleast 2
      km from the TAJ RIVER BANK and make sure that river does not drain out between the
      check dams including the summer months.This way the wooden foundations can remain moist always.SIBY XAVIER - Bangalore.

      it has been a mark of true love since 400year(appox) I urge the young Indian to come forward to save the monument .............at that time there was only one Shahjhan, now we have 543 odd numbers of Shahjhan the only difference is King Shahjhan love the country and its countrymen ......and today's Shahjhan ............guess

      There are many postulates and then rumors. Ice melting and disappearance of some land is scientifically correct but will take hundreds/thousands of years. But decay due to other environment factors such as acidic rain on Marble could be controlled by us

      TAJ MAHAL IS a man made monument, why it is being termed as natural blessing? ask the people who lost their hands after carving the monument,
