Whenever we think of going on a walkabout, a place to explore ourselves, or just to take a break from the hustle and bustle of our busy city lives, there are but a few places that come to mind. A trek to a hill or a small mountain, a relaxing trip to the beach, or an exotic experience through the wilderness of Forests.
Forests are the abode of unique tree species, birds, reptiles, deer, and other wild animals. But they are also a hotbed for wildlife, including both wild animals and wild trees, which will kill the invaders in their territories in a matter of seconds.
Also, there are many forests around the world, which are the breeding grounds of terrorist groups, militants, anti-government guerrillas, dacoits.
A Well-curated List of the Top Most Dangerous Forest in the World:
1. Gadchiroli Forest (India)
Located in the Indian state of Maharashtra, this forest has an enormous variety of wild trees and wildlife. Still, it is considered the most dangerous forest in the world because of being the breeding ground and refuge for Maoists or Naxalites, as they are called. These people are separatists that have hijacked many forests in and around the Gadchiroli town area, spreading hundreds of kilometers and covering many states.
Naxalites are in conflict with the Indian army. Gunfire and death between them and the Indian army regularly ensue and also, the killing of the village dwellers. They have converted the forest to a battle frontier for themselves. Tourism here is mostly non-existent.
2. Amazon Rainforest (South America)
Covering multiple countries in South America, but dominantly lying in Brazil, the Amazon Rainforest is very well known as the largest, densest, and in terms of the species yet to be found, the least discovered forest in the world. Covering an area of more than 7,000,000 sq kilometers, the Amazon Rainforest deserves a place in the most dangerous forest in the world due to the sheer fact that most of the forest is still undiscovered and hides many mysteries within it.
Many forest enthusiasts go in yearly to discover the secrets of the forest, and some come back, the majority of them never do! The threat to ordinary humans is from the tribals who have lived in the forest for over 11000 years, poisonous tree frogs, snakes, insects if that wasn’t enough, some trees show severe drug properties.
