Time recently released a list of World's 100 greatest places to visit in 2019. The list includes places to stay, places to eat and places to visit. And making India proud, The Statue of Unity has made it to the list.
Gujarat’s 597-feet tall Statue of Unity and Mumbai's Soho House have landed on second annual list of TIME Magazine's World’s Greatest Places 2019.
The Statue of Unity, dedicated to Iron Man of India Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, is situated on the river island called Sadhu Bet in front of the Narmada Dam in Gujarat. It is the world's tallest statue at a height of 182 metres and a major tourist attraction.
In its official description, TIME Magazine writes, “The world’s tallest statue, which was unveiled last fall, stands at 597 ft. on an island in the Narmada River. It towers over the Sardar Sarovar Dam in the western Indian state of Gujarat, offering visitors the chance to see views of nearby mountain ranges from its chest.”
To share the exciting news, PM Narendra Modi took to his official Twitter account and wrote, "Excellent news vis-à-vis the 'Statue of Unity'- it finds a spot in the @TIME 100 greatest places 2019 list. And, a few days back, a record 34,000 people visited the site in a single day. Glad that it is emerging as a popular tourist spot!".
Mumbai's Soho House, which also made it to the list, is located in an 11-storey building overlooking the Arabian Sea. It houses a library, a cinema with 34 seats and a rooftop bar and pool.
“Asia’s first Soho House puts a local spin on the formula that has allowed Nick Jones’ members-only clubs to blossom across the U.S. and Europe. Soho House Mumbai, located in a breezy 11-story building overlooking the Arabian Sea, offers a library, a cinema with 34 seats (each with its own footstool), and a rooftop bar and pool; its Cecconi’s restaurant is open to nonmembers, as are most of the 38 hotel rooms,” writes TIME.
