The Hallelujah Mountains!

Remember this place from the all-time blockbuster Avatar? No one could help wonder how James Cameron made this place. After watching the movie, I happened to have asked many people how exactly this set-up was made. I got a lot of weird and unbelievable so-called-facts that I surely did not believe(Until now!) The movie Avatar, in itself, has many breath-taking scenes and locations that have been made perfect by the movie's crew. But believe it or not, the Hallelujah Mountains featured in this movie are real! Yes, you read that right. Though the real mountains don't exactly float in mid-air, they are pretty epic to see even if they're rooted to the ground.

The maker's of the eponymous film drew inspiration for the Hallelujah Mountains from this very national park! After the movie...

Hey there! The world is a strange place and what happens in it is even stranger. Are you a travel freak? Ever picked up a globe, closed your eyes, touched a spot and decided that you'll go there?

Planet Earth,  149,000,000  km² covered by land,  361,000,000 km² covered by water and approximately  7,560,000,000 people living on it. How much land have you covered? How many seas have you seen? How many people have you met? But none of these is the question that should be asked. Ask yourself "How many times do I live?". Just one tiny life on this planet and what do we do? Chase money. Ever heard of the place Kauai? Probably not. Kauai is a small island and is a part of the Hawaiian Islands.  With an area of 562.3 square miles (1,456.4 km 2 ), it is the fourth largest of these islands and the  21st largest island in the United States. This island has its origins from volcanoes and is nearly six million years old! Kaua ʻ i is home to thousands of wild chickens, or moa in Hawaiian, who have few natural predators, as the mongoose was never introduced in Kaua ʻ i as it has been on other Hawaiia...
