I Went Inside India's Mysterious Meteorite Crater

I trekked down to India's mysterious meteorite crater. See what's down there and why NASA visited it! It's attracted scientists from around the world due to its strange characteristics and anomalies, which I'll show you as I trek down to the base. This is Lonar Lake in the state of Maharashtra.

Tour guide was Amol Sardar +91 997 544 7088. This video was not sponsored.

Lonar Lake is a natural saltwater lake in Maharashtra, India, formed 52,000 years ago due to a meteorite impact. It is located within the Lonar crater and is known for its unique ecological features.

The lake is saline, alkaline, and supports diverse microorganisms.

It attracts scientists, researchers, and tourists interested in astrobiology and the origin of life.

Lonar Lake is also culturally significant, mentioned in ancient texts and surrounded by temples and archaeological sites. It is protected as the Lonar Wildlife Sanctuary.

If you want to do this same trip, you can stay at the nearby MTDC Resort in Lonar, and you'll find multiple guides there. I've made a video reviewing this hotel too    • India's Best $32 Hotel? (Honest Revie...  .

This was one of the most interesting places I've ever visited! Are you going to go? I stayed at a Govt. run hotel right on the crater, which was the opposite experience of this, watch it next https://youtu.be/u3RC4Tt0ezs. Tour guide was Amol Sardar +91 997 544 7088. This video was not sponsored (I've never ever done one actually!).

The info provided by the Guide made the video more interesting. I recommend taking local tour guides whenever possible as they add so much value to the places you visit.

Wow, Lonar is my hometown, I'm really glad that someone like Karl got to see the crater, there are so many legends around this one.. and I must say one of the most underrated places in India, If you ever go to the place take a walk around the whole crater its really an amazing experience, you'll encounter some monkeys, peacocks and various kinds of insects and birds, the smell is bit horrid but some locals take a dive in it as its holy place, there are many ancient temples around and as I said many legends associated to them. Fun Fact: In 2020 around peak of the Summer the water of the crater turned pink due to the low levels, it was lockdown but we still managed to go there and witnessed pink amazing crater..!

As a science enthusiast, this vlog was amazing! I loved the little crumbs of knowledge the guide threw in, and the sites of the ancient temples awoke in me a strange sense of nostalgia

Geological Survey of India needs to protect and curate this site far better. This is a national treasure.

I'm from India but live in California. Had heard of this place but didn't know anything more than the fact that it was a lake created by the impact of a meteorite. Watched this video with my thirteen year old son who is an avid traveler and loves geography and science. We both enjoyed the scientific, geographical, historic and mythological aspect of Lonar, so well explained by Amolji. Thanks for this gem of a video, Karl! Please continue introducing us to such little known places.

Incredible India ehh! Absolutely amazing, incredible. Been with you on your journeys for quite a while now Karl through the town's and cities of India, Pakistan etc but this content right here, you and your wife touring all the ancient sites, the sites etc mentioned in the Mahabharata and other ancient texts is literally just mind blowing for me! There is so much of humanities history hidden from us especially in the west but not in India as most of these ancient sites mentioned in the ancient texts have been preserved and can be brought back to life by just visiting them. Thanks so much you guys 🙏 💞 much love from Ireland 🇮🇪

Mind Boggling place India is.. When i think about ancient India, it blows my mind, Back then how rich & advance our culture were. And some of parts in mythology are in ongoing research which is quite fascinating. If ruler weren't invent us, Places like these should have been world treasures. I felt bad for my Country actually. "Good Documentary".

India is a mini world. You will find desert, snow caped mountain, forest, valleys, ancient cites, lots of things. India is a place of varied nature. Always feel proud to be part of this holy land. 🇮🇳🇮🇳
