Kuldhara

Kuldhara, also known as the ‘Ghost Village of Rajasthan’ is considered to be one of the most haunted places in India. This unique mysterious place needs to be on your must-visit list. This deserted village does make you feel sad and wonder what the poor people of the village might have gone through that made them decide to flee their homes overnight along with people of 84 other villages. It is said that Salum Singh, the diwan of the region, levied huge taxes because of which it became extremely difficult for Paliwals to survive in the village. Also, he had his eyes on one of the girls of the community and desired to marry her, but was disapproved by the community. He then threatened the villagers that if he doesn’t get what he desires then they will have to face dire consequences. Due to this, Paliwals along with the people of 84 other villages left Kuldhara to preserve their dignity and honour. These disheartened people cursed that no one will ever be able to live here, and till date, these villages remain deserted.
