SwissTravelChannel is a YouTube channel of my holiday’s trips videos, taken all around the world since 2008. Some are for pure tourism and others are more of an adventure. The videos usually show the top best tourist attractions, the top things to do and top places to see. The goal is to inspire others on their next vacations. The videos can also be seen as a guide to have an idea of the main highlights and places to explore. I love to take pictures of the nature, traditions and different cultures, to search the must-see spots and show the essentials in my videos, for this reason I always try to create the perfect vacation. Traveling is more than a hobby for me, is a way of life.

BRIGHTON (source Wikipedia):
Brighton is a seaside resort on the south coast of England which is part of the city of Brighton and Hove, East Sussex, 47 miles (75 km) south of London. It is ranked the 42nd most populous district in England, with around 289,200 residents.
Archaeological evidence of settlement in the area dates back to the Bronze Age, Roman and Anglo-Saxon periods. The ancient settlement of Brighthelmstone was documented in the Domesday Book (1086). The town's importance grew in the Middle Ages as the Old Town developed, but it languished in the early modern period, affected by foreign attacks, storms, a suffering economy and a declining population. Brighton began to attract more visitors following improved road transport to London and becoming a boarding point for boats travelling to France. The town also developed in popularity as a health resort for sea bathing as a purported cure for illnesses.
In the Georgian era, Brighton developed as a fashionable seaside resort, encouraged by the patronage of the Prince Regent, later King George IV, who spent much time in the town and constructed the Royal Pavilion in the Regency era. Brighton continued to grow as a major center of tourism following the arrival of the railways in 1841, becoming a popular destination for day-trippers from London. Many of the major attractions were built in the Victorian era, including the Metropole Hotel (now Hilton) Grand Hotel, the West Pier, and the Brighton Palace Pier. The town continued to grow into the 20th century, expanding to incorporate more areas into the town's boundaries before joining the town of Hove to form the unitary authority of Brighton and Hove in 1997, which was granted city status in 2000.
Brighton's location has made it a popular destination for tourists, renowned for its diverse communities, quirky shopping areas, large cultural, music and arts scene and its large LGBT population, leading to its recognition as the unofficial gay capital of the UK. Brighton attracted 7.5 million day visitors in 2015/16 and 4.9 million overnight visitors, and is the most popular seaside destination in the UK for overseas tourists. Brighton has also been called the UK's hippest city, and the happiest place to live in the UK.

Masjid e Aqsa/Bait ul Muqaddas (Travel Documentary in Urdu Hindi)
Al-Aqsa Mosque (Arabic: المسجد الاقصى Al-Masjid al-‘Aqṣā, IPA: [ʔælˈmæsdʒɪd ælˈʔɑqsˤɑ] (About this sound listen), the Farthest Mosque), also known as Al-Aqsa and Bayt al-Muqaddas, is the third holiest site in Islam and is located in the Old City of Jerusalem. Whilst the entire site on which the silver-domed mosque sits, along with the Dome of the Rock, seventeen gates, and four minarets, was itself historically known as the Al-Aqsa Mosque, today a narrower definition prevails,[note 1] and the wider compound is usually referred to as al-Haram ash-Sharif (the Noble Sanctuary),[3] or the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism. Muslims believe that Muhammad was transported from the Sacred Mosque in Mecca to al-Aqsa during the Night Journey. Islamic tradition holds that Muhammad led prayers towards this site until the seventeenth month after the emigration, when God directed him to turn towards the Kaaba.
The mosque was originally a small prayer house built by Umar the second caliph of the Rashidun Caliphate, but was rebuilt and expanded by the Umayyad caliph Abd al-Malik and finished by his son al-Walid in 705 CE. The mosque was completely destroyed by an earthquake in 746 and rebuilt by the Abbasid caliph al-Mansur in 754. His successor al-Mahdi rebuilt it again in 780. Another earthquake destroyed most of al-Aqsa in 1033, but two years later the Fatimid caliph Ali az-Zahir built another mosque which has stood to the present day.
During the periodic renovations undertaken, the various ruling dynasties of the Islamic Caliphate constructed additions to the mosque and its precincts, such as its dome, facade, its minbar, minarets and the interior structure. When the Crusaders captured Jerusalem in 1099, they used the mosque as a palace and the Dome of the Rock as a church, but its function as a mosque was restored after its recapture by Saladin in 1187. More renovations, repairs and additions were undertaken in the later centuries by the Ayyubids, Mamluks, Ottomans, the Supreme Muslim Council, and Jordan. Today, the Old City is under Israeli control, but the mosque remains under the administration of the Jordanian/Palestinian-led Islamic Waqf.
Naga Sadhus or naked Hindu Holy men bathe on the banks of the Ganges river
Viewer discretion advised due to possible graphic content.
Naga Sadhus take holy dip at the Ganges during Kumbh mela. Kumbh Mela is a sacred Hindu pilgrimage that occurs four times every twelve years and rotates among four locations of India.
Kumbh Mela is a mass Hindu pilgrimage of faith in which Hindus gather to bathe in a sacred river. It is considered to be the largest peaceful gathering in the world where around 100 million people were expected to visit during the Maha Kumbh Mela in 2013 in Allahabad. It is held every third year at one of the four places by rotation: Haridwar, Allahabad (Prayaga), Nashik and Ujjain. Thus the Kumbh Mela is held at each of these four places every twelfth year. Ardha (Half) Kumbh Mela is held at only two places, Haridwar and Allahabad, every sixth year. The rivers at these four places are: the Ganges (Ganga) at Haridwar, the confluence (Sangam) of the Ganges and the Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati at Allahabad, the Godawari at Nashik, and the Shipra at Ujjain. The name Kumbh Mela comes from Hindi, and in the original Sanskrit and other Indian languages it is more often known as Kumbha Mela. Kumbha means a pitcher and Mela means fair in Sanskrit. The pilgrimage is held for about one and a half months at each of these four places where it is believed in Hinduism that drops of nectar fell from the kumbha carried by gods after the sea was churned. Bathing in these rivers is thought to cleanse one of all sins. The festival is billed as the world’s largest congregation of religious pilgrims. There is no precise method of ascertaining the number of pilgrims, and the estimates of the number of pilgrims bathing on the most auspicious day may vary; approximately 80 million people attended on 14 February 2013.

Kamar Ali Shah Darvesh Baba Dargah, Khed Shivapur, Pune-Shirdi Highway
The Shrine of Sufi Pir Qamar Ali Darvesh, is the house to this ordinary looking stone, which weighs about 200 kgs. It is heavy and can't be moved even an inch by many people trying together. But it only takes the index fingers of 11 men, just touching it together and uttering the name of ' Qamar Ali Darvesh' to lift-up in the air, a feet or more above their heads.
Shivapuri, is a small town in Pune district, about 180 km. from Mumbai, it is this leviating stone which makes the place famous and attracts a lot of tourist all through the year. It is said that 800 years ago there was an akhara or gymnasium at the place of the shrine. Women are not allowed inside the main structure of the Dargah or shrine as Qamar Ali was a celibate and this is to respect his chastity.
Legend is that Qamar Ali Darvesh was a Sufi Pir who was revered for his healing and miraculous powers. He was born in a Muslim family of men who were famous for their muscular and wrestling powers. But unlike his brothers and other relatives Qamar Ali was not aggressive but instead was calm and reserved and at the tender age of 8 became the disciple of the Sufi saint who used to reside nearby and started spending most of his time in his company and in fasting and meditating.
The other boys of the household often used to tease him as physically weak and he laid this stone in the courtyard of the Akhara to prove that spiritual power is more powerful than muscular power.
While on his death bed at his teens he declared this stone only be moved if eleven men touched their right index finger under the stone and take my name in unison, it will rise higher above their heads, in other case if even many people apply their strength together to raise it the maximum they it will rise is up to 2 fts. above the ground.
A lot of people who have tried to move the stone or have tried to take the stone away though have not succeeded but have also faced the wrath of consequences.
To reach Dargah, tourist and devotees first reach to Pune city and from there take a bus, This is a small village that's why tourists can only go by the bus. If you are going to Pune by air or rail then get down at Pune station. The city of Pune is very developed city, roads are very well connected. There are regular government buses to reach from Pune to village Shivapur.
