Exploring enriches one's life!
22nd country!
Turkey vacation Part -1 Cappadocia(in turkish it means - the Land of beautiful horses )
One of the Very unique landscapes we visited till now.
Millions of years ago this entire area was covered with molten volcanic lava and as time passed, because of the natural wind erosion of the land and valleys very unique rocky structures are formed. Around 10,000 years ago humans found out that these structures are easy to CARVE and they carved the houses and started living inside that. Now it's called as "fairy chimneys". They also carved caves into the valleys. Now all these are converted into modern hotels.
Not just the houses, they carved many big castels, churches, even underground cities! Our minds have been blown after seeing these.
Around 1980 they even started hot air balloon rides for the visitors and now we see every morning 1000s of hot air balloons go up in the air carrying people during sunrise!
