I have been to nine of these places. My favorites of the places I have visited are Petra, Angkor Wat, and the Ellora Caves which are right here in India. You should not leave India without visiting the Ellora and Ajanta Caves, two of the cooleste places I have ever visited. I would like to visit Rome, the Great Wall of China (only if wearing a oxygen mask for the pollution – ha!) and Tikal. The list should feature Baalbek in Lebanon, Palenque in Mexico, and Ayutthaya in Thailand:

I only went to 2 of these places (Borobudur and Angkor Wat). I really want to visit the Ellora Caves, the Great Wall of China, and Easter Island.

Ellora and Ajanta are easy to get to. I would love to go to Easter Island, but it’s so far away and probably not easy or cheap to get to. Thanks for your comment.

I have been to 8 of these places and found all of them breathtaking. I really want to visit France.
