  7. Adalaj Step-well

    Located in Adalaj Village, the Adalaj Step-well is 18km away from Ahmedabad City, and 6 km from Gandhinagar.

    The monument was built and put to use in 1499 A.D.

    It has wonderful convergence of Hindu, Islamic and Jainism forms of architecture in it. This five storried step-well once had been a busy place in terms of social gatherings, trade, religious activities etc.

    Today, it is very nicely maintained by Archeological Survey of India, nodal agency for conservation of historical places in India.

    One must take this place into Trip Plan maps, if coming down to India as a tourist.

  8. Overlook Mountain House Ruins

    High atop Overlook Mountain in Woodstock are lest vestiges of a man's obsession with building a mountain hotel that would not fall victim to the fires that claimed many of the Hudson Valley's original "Mountain Houses" in the 1800's.

    After the fort two Overlook Mountain Houses were destroyed by fire, Morris Newgold envisioned of a fireproof Hotel built completely of concrete.

    By 1939, Newgold ran out of money to finish his dream, but the ruins of the partially built hotel, chapel, power station, and stables still stand to this day.

    A quick drive up Rock City Road takes tourists partially up Overlook Mountain to a small parking area. There tourists can hike up the steep 2 mile road that leads to the ruins.

    Although it is prohibited to enter the structure due to possible danger from the decay, many still take their chances and explore the ghostly remains.
