5 .Japan in Cherry Blossom Season

7. Marrakesh, Morocco

8. Tamil Nadu, India

Most amazing places in the world to add to your travel bucket list.

Most travelers head to North India for its Mughal palaces and forts, but the Southern state of Tamil Nadu is where most of the country's major Hindu temples are found, including the brightly-colored Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple seen here and the Meenakshi Temple Complex, which is so large it's considered a mini-city.

9. Zhangye Danxia Geopark, China

The exotic hues of the "Rainbow Mountains" will entice geology buffs and Instagram addicts both.

10. Bora Bora, French Polynesia

Most amazing places in the world to add to your travel bucket list.
