However, a real travel enthusiast always loves to explore the less-visited places and hidden gems. So if you've been wondering about the weirdest places that exist on our planet, we've got you. Here is a list of eight weirdest places across the world that will surely blow your mind in astonishment and curiosity.   

1. Catacombs, Paris 

Here is one of the creepiest and weirdest places located in the 'City of Light', Paris. No wonder that the Paris city welcomes thousands of tourists across the globe every year for being home to one of the seven wonders of the world. But that's not all, the city also features an extensive network of underground quarry tunnels, where more than six million people in Paris rest in peace. Established in the eighteenth century, Catacombs is full of bones and skulls from the overcrowded graveyards arranged in a gruesome way.  

2. Nelson Lakes National Park, New Zealand   

If you dig walking across the walkways of national parks and jungle safaris, then you should visit the Nelson Lakes National Park, situated in New Zealand. You must be wondering what's so weird about a national park, isn't it?. Well, the thing is that the national park features a blue lake that is crystal clear. The water in the lake is so clear that the bottom surface of the lake is clearly visible.  

3. Glass Beach, California   

While most of the places featured in this list are a wonder of nature, the Glass Beach of California is a result of the actions of human beings. For years together, people had been dumping rubbish and waste on the beach and around 1960, the sea was full of all sorts of waste and rubbish including cans, glass bottles and other electrical appliances. The harsh waves of the sea broke the waste into small colourful glass pebbles, and since then the place has become a famous tourist attraction. Allegedly, most visitors also take home these glass pebbles.  

4. Thor's Well, Oregon   

The Thor's well is hands down the most intriguing places featured in this list. The formation of the gaping sinkhole in the Pacific Ocean was due to erosion of land in one particular region as the waves kept hitting it rigorously, forming a giant sea cave that almost swallows the entire ocean. The force of the water is so strong, especially during high tides that it could swallow people within its close proximity. The ocean water rushes into this giant gaping sinkhole and shoots back upwards with tremendous force. Many creative photographers around the world visit the place to get the best view of this scientific creation of nature.  

5. Chocolate Hills, Indonesia 

Located in the middle of an island in Bohol, Indonesia, the chocolate hills are spread across a distance of 50 metres and are not so huge. While its occurrence remained a mystery for a long time, UNESCO has confirmed that the large coral deposits accompanied by the rainwater erosion led to the formation of these unusual hills. They get their nickname mainly because the green coral hills turn into dry brown colour during the dry seasons with inadequate water supply. Although the number of hills on the island remains unknown, the estimated number ranges around 1268 to 1776.  

 6. Goblin Valley State Park, Utah   

The Goblin Valley State Park is a deserted valley near the Salt Lake City of Utah. The place got its name because of the erosion of soft sandstone, forming weird shapes that resemble a goblin in some ways. Some of the strange-looking rock formations form a mysterious maze which makes it an ideal location for family outings for the locals as well. That's not all; you can enjoy thrilling ATV and mountain bike rides in the nearby trails and also indulge in some hiking around the goblins if that's your thing.   

7. Painted Hills, Oregon   

Here is another weirdest place featured in the list, located in the state of Oregon. From mysterious wells that swallow oceans to hills with natural paintings that change hues according to weather and light, Oregon sure seems to have a lot of intriguing tourism attractions. The layers of colours formed on the hills are due to mineral stains. The red, black, yellow and gold layers of the hills keep changing and look its best, post afternoon. The ideal time to visit the Painted Hills is around September as the weather remains sunny but not too hot.  

8. Huashan Mountains, China   

The Huashan Mountains of China makes it to the list of weirdest places across the world because of its deadliest hiking walk plank. The mountain also bears a nickname 'Road to Heaven' and is popular among adrenaline junkies who like to go hiking on the deadliest hiking trail of the world. The weird part of this deadly hiking trail is that upon successfully completing the walk on the deadliest walk plank, it leads to a small and remote tea house. Hiking on the world's deadliest hiking trail to relax in a tiny tea house sipping on hot tea sure sounds like a bizarre but breathtaking plan. Make sure to attach some roof rack accessories to the car to carry the required hiking and camping gear while visiting the Huashan Mountains.
