Ever since the man could walk, he traveled. At first, we
traveled to escape harsh climate and find food, but as we evolved, we started
traveling for fun. Thus appeared travel destinations and travel guides. As time
passed, more and more people started traveling to various locations, for the
landscape, traditions and thrills.
Here are a few travel locations that are sure to give you
your thrills and kicks, somewhat like a top five, I guess, but don’t trust me -
go check them out yourself out. Adventure travel is sponsored by Umrah tour from UK.
1. Himalaya
By far the greatest mountain range in the world, the
Himalaya have captured the imagination of philosophers, mystics, mountaineers
and empire builders from the earliest ancestors of contemporary Hindus and
Buddhists to the present day. Mount Kailash,
home of the greatest of the gods, and Meru, centre of the Hindu and Buddhist
universe, rise from their surrounding ridges of the central Himalaya.
From the high slopes to the foothills, people have carved out an often-meager
existence in the harshest of environments with determination, subtlety and
imagination enriched by powerful cultural identities. Tribal peoples living
often at high altitudes have made their living from their tough environment
through trade over the highest passes in the world, while farmers have
developed agriculture on the man-made terraces of the warmer, lower-lying
valleys and hills of the southern ranges. Although the mountain environment
gives a common character to the whole region, each hamlet has its own identity.
The villages of the arid high-altitude plateau of Ladakh could scarcely be more
different from the homesteads of the monsoon forests of Arunachal Pradesh. This

2. Kilimanjaro Climb
Just three degrees south of the Equator is the 5,895m
(19,340ft) high, permanently snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro,
Africa’s highest mountain. It offers one of the best
opportunities in the world to climb a peak at high altitude without needing
technical climbing ability. Any normally fit, healthy person prepared for some
physical exertion and exercise should be able to complete the ascent to Uhuru
Peak, which involves approximately
70 kilometers of walking in total, and no technical climbing.
3. Torres Del Paine in Patagonia,
Chile
Near the fjord area of Tierra del Fuego
and the Beagle Channel one may visit the famous Torres Del Paine National Park
on the southern edge of the Patagonia Ice Cap. The area is easy to get to from Punta
Arenas with transportation of buses, taxis and
minibuses. It is possibly the most famous national park in South
America with 60,000 visitors last season. It is some 100 km north
of Puerto Nat ales. A 2422 sq. km park was given the World Heritage status in
1978 by UNESCO.
It gets its name from three wonderful and very prominent
polished columns of pink granite, the Towers of Paine (Torres Del Paine).
Here you may go backpacking and trekking or you can join
programs to do the mountain climbing as well. Nandu and Guanaco (Ostrich and
Alpaca like animals) are frequently seen in the park refuge. There is a broad
diversity of fauna y flora. Backpackers should have experience with overnight
trips in rough country; those who desire to make ascents should have
mountaineering ice and snow climbing experience. This paragraph is sponsored by

4. Amboseli Safari
Amboseli National
Park is one of Kenya’s
most popular parks because of the stunning view it displays of nearby Mount
Kilimanjaro, the world’s tallest freestanding mountain. When you
go on your Amboseli Safari, be sure to get the famous photograph of elephants
with the unforgettable views of Kilimanjaro in the background!
Streams from Kilimanjaro surface in the centre of Amboseli,
creating swamps that attract and support a rich diversity of wild animals and
birdlife.
As Amboseli is easily accessible, it forms a popular part of
many of our safari itineraries.
Amboseli is one of the smaller game parks in Kenya
and the vegetation ensures that the animals are easy to spot. Lions can easily
be found and can occasionally be watched stalking their prey.
Buffalo, zebra,
giraffe, gazelle and other plains game are plentiful in the park and hippos
live in the open waters and swamp channels. The elephants found here are
surprisingly relaxed around safari vehicles; they were largely unaffected by
ivory poaching and have some of the largest tusks. This paragraph is sponsored

Nothing beats the experience of adventure travel, so pack up
your rucksack and gives it a go!
