List of World Heritage Sites in India visited

Charity Begins at Home!!! In order to fulfill one of my wishlist - "Visit the top UNESCO World Heritage sites", it is always apt to first visit the ones which are in my home country.

There are 40 World Heritage Sites in India that are recognized by UNESCO as of today. Of these, 32 are cultural sites, 7 are natural sites and 1 is mixed (meeting both cultural and natural criteria).

So far, I have had the privilege of visiting only 15 of them as below:
  • Ajanta Caves
  • Ellora Caves
  • Agra Fort, Uttar Pradesh
  • Taj Mahal, Uttar Pradesh
  • Sun Temple, Konarak
  • Hampi, Karnataka
  • Elephanta Caves
  • Qutb Minar and its Monuments, Delhi
  • Mountain Railways of India (Visited 2/3 - Darjeeling Himalayan Railway and Nilgiri Mountain Railway)
  • Mahabodhi Temple Complex at Bodh Gaya, Bihar
  • Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (formerly Victoria Terminus)
  • Red Fort Complex
  • Archaeological Site of Nalanda Mahavihara (Nalanda University) at Nalanda
  • Historic City of Ahmadabad
  • Kakatiya Rudreshwara (Ramappa) Temple
Sunderbans and Khajuraho are among the ones which are definitely in my wish list before I can move ahead with others.
