I strongly support the concept of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I believe that if one visits a place (a city or a country), and that place happens to have one or more World Heritage Sites, one must utilize the opportunity to experience them. In this list, I'm trying to list all the World Heritage Sites that I've ever visited. For the Sites in India, year is not mentioned as in many cases I don't remember the first time I visited a particular Site, and I've probably visited some of these more than once. Of course, it's also possible that I might have visited a few other Sites too but I don't remember them.
Also, this list should include any of the various Wonders of the World that I've visited.
