One of the weirdest stories in India that turns out to be true, and takes place every year between September and November is in the northeast of India. Well, it’s mostly true, many scientist have tried to explain and quantify it, but they still can’t get to the bottom of it. This makes it one of the top unsolved mysteries of India. No amount of trying to rationalise it detracts from how ominous it is when the intense event takes place. Do what you can to make this one of the places in India you get to and see it for yourself.

As the sun begins to set and hundreds of birds begin falling from the sky. It is such a remarkable happening that they have now developed a festival around the phenomenon.

Jatinga is one of those strange places to visit in India that turns into a land of mass bird suicide every year during September & October.

Many locals believe it is due to evil spirits and they are eager to share their own stories about it. The atmosphere is truly intense and it is hard to not get freaked out by it.

Ornithologists say that the dense fog and high altitude daze birds because of which they end up crashing into trees and buildings. However, there are many arguments that counter this theory.

Go to Jatinga … I dare you.
