When it comes to mountains and cliffs, the world has a lot of beauty to offer. Starting from Ireland, to the USA and all over the map, cliffs stand tall for us to marvel at their majesty. Breath-taking and stunning, here are ten of the most beautiful cliffs in the world that you should definitely try to visit once in your lifetime.
The Cliffs Of Moher, Ireland
Situated in Ireland’s County Clare, the Cliffs of Moher are a testament to the wild beauty of Ireland’s countryside. These cliffs are among Ireland’s most popular tourist attractions and they draw crowds of millions every year. They’re 702 ft tall and rise 394 ft above the Atlantic Ocean. The Cliffs of Moher are also home to several species, especially birds, with an estimated 30,00 birds residing there.
Kalaupapa Cliffs, USA
The Kalaupapa cliffs are located in Hawaii's Molokai island. They not only tower almost 20,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean but are also one of the highest cliffs in the world. They're located at a spot that is impossible to reach by car. As a result, the island offers the options of a beautiful air tour or a four-kilometer long hike. The ruggedness and remote location of the cliffs add to its charm.
Trango Towers, Pakistan
If the above cliffs sound too far from home, then a stunning site awaits you closer home. Pakistan boasts of the Trango Towers which stand tall at 20,623 ft. It is considered to be one of the most difficult to climb cliffs in the world, even by seasoned rock climbers. However, the ones who do manage to reach the top of The Great Trango Tower, its tallest peak, are rewarded with a stunning view unlike any other and to witness the world's greatest nearly vertical drop up close.
White Cliffs Of Dover, England
The amazingly popular White Cliffs of Dover stretch all across the city of Dover in Kent, England. One of the most iconic landscapes of England, these chalk cliffs have been a part of English pop-culture for decades now, featuring in movies and music videos alike. The cliff is visible even from France, across the English Channel.
Vermillion Cliffs, USA
Speaking of cliffs named according to their colour, the Vermillion Cliffs stand between the border of Utah and Arizona in the United States. They're remote, untouched by mankind and have been named a National Monument. In spring, after the winter rains, the Vermillion Cliffs are covered by carpets of desert mallow and other such spring flowers.
