10 of the Most Beautiful Landscapes in the World — You’ll Want to Pack Your Bags Immediately! (5 of 6)

8. Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, Kyoto, Japan

The Arashiyama Bamboo Grove in Kyoto is a peaceful, serene place for those wanting to get away from the noise and chaos of the big city. This natural forest features tall bamboo stalks that slowly sway in the wind, creating a soothing rustle.

While soaking in the magical atmosphere, time seems to stand still and you begin to feel like you’re in heaven!

9. Antelope Canyon, Arizona, United States

The otherworldly shapes and vivid colors make Antelope Canyon every traveler’s bucket-list destination. Millions of years worth of flash floods, wind, and erosion shaped the Navajo sandstone into a slot canyon with softly flowing curves. The result is a picturesque wonder that changes every time the sun moves across the sky.

To explore Antelope Canyon, which has only been open to the public since 1997, you will need to book the tour and hire a Navajo guide to experience this hidden gem.
