Names are important. Especially when they’re on maps. Have a look at these places in India that were, well, not named very cautiously.
1. Poo, Himachal Pradesh
Poo or Pooh, is a small town in the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. Renowned for its apricot orchards and vineyards, it is a favorite among hikers and nature lovers. Also, it sounds funny.
2. Bettiah, Bihar
Girls, cheer up!
3. Bhabua, Bihar
Ka Bhabua? Tumko ka laga? Tumko bhool jayenge?
4. Bhainsa, Telangana
Incidentally, Bhainsa lies right next to a water body. And next to Bhainsa, you’ll find Pathri and Umarkhed. I’m not making this up. Try it.
5. Barh, Bihar
As you can see, the station is flooded with people.
6. Chutia, Assam
Ermm… What’s in a name?
7. Cumbum, Andhra Pradesh
Also round the corner are “Linga Puram” and “Cumbum Lake.” Just in case.

Finally a place just for dark goats. RESPECT!
14. Kutta, Karnataka
Located south of Coorg, very close to the Karnataka-Kerala border, Kutta is known for its wildlife. It’s a mere 10 kilometers away from Nagarhole National Park. True to its name, right?

16. Panauti, Uttar Pradesh
If you’re not feeling lucky, spare a thought for this town.
