 The globe is filled with forests: vast, verdant fields full of trees where you can discover peace, beauty and re-establish a connection with the natural world. 
 

There aren't many things on earth that can calm or humble you, like being in the middle of a gorgeous forest with tall trees all around you. But these majestic, lush forests can be found all over the world, from the national parks of North America to a secluded island off the coast of Yemen, some of which are so surreal that it's difficult to believe they're real.

These are the world's top 7 most stunning forests  that encircles you with nature:

1. Daintree Rainforest, Australia:
Home to 122 rare and endangered species, the Daintree Rainforest in Northern Queensland is an amazing ecosystem and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Daintree tropical rainforest is among the oldest in the world, having existed for 135 million years. 

2. Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, Japan:
Although you could go on about this bamboo grove outside of Kyoto's ethereal radiance and seemingly unending heights, the pleasures here are not limited to sight. The actual beauty of the place can be experienced if you close your eyes, block out other visitors, and listen to the wind making the wood groan and the leaves rustle. 

3. Black Forest, Germany:
The Black Forest is a wooded mountain region that stretches across southwest Germany. It is well-known for a dense 100-mile stretch of pine trees, charming villages, natural thermal spas, and the and the origin of the cuckoo clock. 

4. Rainbow Forest, Maui:
This wood is an artwork, in contrast to the last one. Situated in Hawaii on the island of Maui, it is abundant with Rainbow Eucalyptus trees. Their vibrant stem is actually what makes them unique. Different hues are produced as the cortex dries and peels off.

5. The Amazon, South America:
The Amazon is the world's biggest rainforest, encompassing over 40% of South America, including parts of Brazil, Peru, and Colombia. It is home to over 40,000 plant species and 1,300 bird species. 

6. Dancing Forest, Russia:
The name "Dancing Forest" refers to the forest near Kaliningrad, Russia, where trees appear to be dancing due to their twisted and curved trunks. Climbing the winding trees is said to grant you a specific desire or an extra year of life. 

7. Dragon's Blood Forest, Yemen:
The stunning forest of Socotra, which is roughly 220 miles off the southeast coast of Yemen's main land, appears to have been brought to Earth from another planet. With their UFO-like tops and spooky bright crimson sap, the island's dragon's blood trees may be the best example of evoking the feeling of otherness.
