8 places in India where you might spot rare white wild animals | Pets-animals News

Published by Parlour News

3 min readNew DelhiJul 6, 2026 10:00 PM IST Albino animals are among nature’s rarest marvels. Albinism is a genetic condition caused by a lack of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin, fur, feathers, and eye colour. Some animals that appear white may instead be leucistic, a condition that results in reduced pigmentation while retaining normal eye colour. Although sightings are uncommon and never guaranteed, several forests and wildlife reserves across India have become known for occasional appearances of these extraordinary creatures. 1. Kabini, Karnataka Kabini has earned global attention for sightings of an unusually pale gaur (Indian bison) nicknamed the “Golden Bull.” While not a true albino, its rare pigmentation has made it one of India’s most photographed wild bovines. Besides this rare animal, Kabini is renowned for elephants, leopards, tigers, and rich birdlife. 2. Nagarhole Tiger Reserve, Karnataka Sharing its landscape with Kabini, Nagarhole has also reported sightings of unusually pale gaurs and deer over the years. Dense forests and open grasslands provide excellent opportunities for wildlife safaris throughout much of the year. …

Turtuk to Tso Moriri: 7 offbeat places to see in Ladakh | Destination-of-the-week News

Published by Parlour News

3 min readNew DelhiJul 6, 2026 12:00 AM IST Ladakh’s dramatic landscapes, beautiful lakes, and high-altitude passes have made it one of India’s most sought-after travel destinations. While iconic attractions such as Pangong Lake, Nubra Valley, and Khardung La continue to draw visitors, the Union Territory is also home to several lesser-known gems that offer equally breathtaking experiences without the crowds. For travellers seeking a deeper connection with Ladakh’s culture, history, and untouched wilderness, these offbeat destinations deserve a place on the itinerary. 1. Turtuk Located close to the India-Pakistan border, Turtuk is one of Ladakh’s most fascinating villages. Opened to tourists only in 2010, it was part of Pakistan until the 1971 war. Unlike much of Ladakh, Turtuk is inhabited by the Balti community, giving visitors a glimpse into a distinct culture, language, and cuisine. Surrounded by apricot orchards and snow-capped peaks, the village offers a refreshing contrast to Ladakh’s stark desert landscapes. 2. Hanle For those who love stargazing, Hanle is a dream destination. Located at an altitude of over 4,500 metres, the …

Michael Olise: Bringing audacity of nonchalance to places it didn’t belong | Football News

5 min readJul 2, 2026 06:30 AM IST Michael Olise is an introvert. The introversion is often evident, like in his interview on CBS Sports Golazo — a show where the panelists tend to be louder than the football they cover. Among the panelists were Thierry Henry, under whose coaching Olise had won the silver medal at the 2024 Olympics. It was the broadcasters’ only trick up the sleeve to unlock an unexplored, extroverted version of Olise. They failed — he didn’t have any. On offer were only diffident smiles and self-effacing nonchalance. Only in one place could you see a different version of Olise. Not the studios, but on grass — his natural habitat. On Wednesday, he was the standout player in France’s clockwork orange, when they beat Sweden 3-0. That is, despite Kylian Mbappe scoring a brace to equal Lionel Messi’s goal tally. Michael Olise and Kylian Mbappe celebrating France’s third goal in the World Cup round of 32 match against Sweden in East Rutherford, N.J., near New York, Tuesday, June 30, 2026. …

3 min readNew DelhiMay 17, 2026 11:00 PM IST Adventure tourism is no longer limited to beaches and mountain retreats. Around the world, travellers are increasingly drawn to places known for extreme temperatures, dangerous terrain, toxic environments, and harsh survival conditions. Despite the risks, these destinations continue to fascinate people seeking unique experiences and natural wonders. Here are five of the most hostile natural places on Earth, and why tourists still visit them. 1. Death Valley Death Valley holds the record for some of the highest temperatures ever recorded on Earth, with summer temperatures often crossing 50°C.

Winter and early spring are considered the safest times to explore the region. 2. Danakil Depression The Danakil Depression is one of the hottest and most geologically active places in the world.
