]]> Hiking can be a great addition to any vacation itinerary, but what about when the purpose of the trip is the hike itself? For athletic and adventurous travelers alike, long-distance trails offer a unique opportunity for exploration and disconnection from the stressors of everyday life. While it’s true that long-distance hikes are likely to include plenty of obstacles of their own, they can also be incredibly rewarding. If you’re a distance hiker looking for your next challenge, read on to learn more about some of the world’s best trails. 

The Appalachian Trail

It turns out the notorious computer game we all loved as kids is named after a real-life long-distance trail in the Eastern United States. Spanning approximately 2,190 miles, the Appalachian Trail offers hikers the opportunity to explore a diverse range of ecosystems as they move from the forests of the South to the rocky terrain of New England. This trail is both challenging and highly rewarding, taking most hikers between 5 to 7 months to complete. 

Annapurna Circuit

For those in search of a bit more elevation, the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal stands out as a picturesque journey through some of the world’s highest peaks. At a height of 33,159 ft and a length of 145 miles, the trail circumnavigates the Annapurna Massif in the Himalayas, offering hikers postcard-worthy views of alpine landscapes and traditional villages along the way. On average, the trail takes about 2-3 weeks to complete depending on skill level and the specific route travelers choose to take.

Te Araroa Trail

Literally translated as “The Long Path”, New Zealand’s Te Araroa Trail offers adventure enthusiasts the chance to take in a diverse array of the country’s natural wonders through one 1,800-mile trek. The trail was officially opened in 2011 and consists of a series of tracks and walkways that connect New Zealand’s North and South Islands. Most hikers will require about 4-5 months to complete the trail, with October to November recommended as the best times to start.

]]> Treehouses were a staple of many our childhoods, but have you ever been inside one of them as an adult? Treehouse lodging is a trend that’s gaining more and more popularity as people discover just how cool it can be to sleep in one of these dwellings.

So, just what are the reasons that they have become so popular as a vacation spot? Let’s check out three advantages they have!

Living a Childhood Dream

Treehouses evoke memories of childhood when we were all carefree and full of wonder. Treehouses represent this feeling in a certain way and even if you go back as an adult, many of these memories are sure to come back.

Connecting with Nature

Spending your vacation in a forest suspended amongst the trees is a great way to connect with nature and leave the material world behind. There’s nothing like hearing the leaves rustle with the breeze and the calls of birds while staying in a treehouse.

Calming and Relaxing

Staying in a hotel with lots of other people in the middle of a city has a time and a place, but if you want to just kick back and get away from it all, a treehouse is a fantastic option. You’ll be calm and relaxed during your entire stay.

]]> Traveling may be on hold right now, but who says you can’t get on your bike and explore the area around you? Bikepacking is the latest trend and the best replacement for backpacking if you want to be faster and see more things at once.

The word bikepacking combines bike and backpacking, and it’s pretty clear what it means. You put everything you need for a day or a weekend in a backpack, hop on your bike, and get going. Pack lightly but don’t forget any necessities and enough food and you’re in for the time of your life.

The only way to make bikepacking more fun than it already is is to do it with a friend. You can pack a tent and turn it into a great weekend in nature. Bikes will allow you to move fast in case the weather gets bad or you get bored by the place you choose.

This is the perfect way to get to know the forests, lakes, and other nature near the place where you live. Would you give bikepacking a try?

]]> Flora tourism is a growing market in the travel industry. More and more people are traveling far and wide to discover strange new plant species and experience the wonders of nature’s glorious products. Here are some unusually aesthetic trees from around the world that its well worth adding to your collection.

Baobab

These strange “upside-down” trees can be found mainly in Africa and Australia. Their wide trunks and short little branches make them look as though they are upside down, their roots in the air.

The Silk Floss Tree

Native to South America, these unusual trees have big bellies like trunks adorned with silk-filled spikes and great blooming pink flowers.

California Redwoods

These great giants can grow to a height of over 300 feet and a width of 20 feet. Their colossal red trunks reaching up to the sky really is a sight to behold.

The Tule Tree

Known as the widest tree on the planet, this sprawling Montezuma Cypress is believed to be between 2000-3000 years old. Over time, the ancient tree has twisted itself into strange patterns and shapes, many of which are named after animals such as the elephant and the jaguar.

]]> Namibia is an amazing, advanced, and fascinating country, combining the developed West with traditional Africa.

On a trip to Namibia, you will travel among beautiful nature reserves, royal wildlife, archeological remains, and tribal villages, alongside resort towns.

Namibia is a very large country, located in southwestern Africa on the Atlantic coast and bordering South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, and Angola. It is a charming tourist destination, with desert scenery, beautiful sites, and good tourism infrastructure.

Among the tourist attractions in Namibia, you can visit the village of the Himba tribe which preserves ancient traditions

You can also visit the stunning orange dunes of Sesriem. The dunes are an unusual sight, especially at sunrise. It is advisable to reach Sassariam early in the morning, and drive towards Sososwali, to climb one of the dunes. 

https://www.instagram.com/p/CE1X08uqtKQ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Another impressive sight is the Cape Cross Reserve with tens of thousands of seals lying along the shore.

If you want a more pampering trip, consider Swakopmund, a resort town, nestled on the Atlantic coast. Most of the buildings in the city were built in the early twentieth century, and the food and cakes are typical of German cuisine.

A visit to Namibia will leave you breathless and will win your heart.

Different shades of Ladakh 😍

A post shared by NISHIT SHARMA | Film Maker (@hopping_bug) on

Ladakh is a very unique region in India—the formidable Himalayas separate the Indian subcontinent from the Ladakh desert and create a distinct area with (mainly Buddhist) culture and special, unique views. Ladakh is actually a cold desert, dotted with green valleys and snowy mountains at very high altitudes.

The main city of Ladakh is La, an inviting, pleasant, and comfortable city, that has a variety of accommodation, shops, and even a pedestrian zone. 

A trip to Ladakh is highly recommended precisely because it is not the touristy and familiar part of India. The significant Buddhist presence (and no less important—the delicious Momo!), the proximity to Pakistan and China, and the alien-like landscapes make Ladakh a must-see destination for any traveler to India.

]]> If you’re a nature lover and enjoy wildlife expeditions, New Zealand is a great place to visit. Home to a large variety of vibrant flora and fauna, you can spot many rare and exotic animals.

When you’re out in New Zealand searching for wildlife, here are 4 peculiar native creatures to look out for.

The Kakapo

Only around 100 left worldwide, the kakapo is a fluffy, flightless, and nocturnal parrot that can sometimes be found waddling around the forest floor.

View this post on Instagram

Don’t be fooled by the mobility of the Earth’s ONLY flightless parrot! With the Kakapo’s strong but short legs and large feet, it is still able to easily hike around the island and climb the branches of trees to safely roost and sleep during the day and become active at night. • • • #Repost @kakapo_recovery Kākāpō Alison who once suffered from a fractured leg stares disapprovingly at the rangers that have visited to perform a routine health check. You would never know she injured it because she sure can climb. Named after Alison Ballance; a zoologist, broadcaster, and writer who produced and presented Radio New Zealand’s weekly science and environment programme Our Changing World. Also author of Kākāpō: Rescued from the Brink of Extinction.

The Tuatara

The only remaining kind of reptile older than the dinosaurs, the tuatara is known as a “living fossil.” Of immense importance to science, it is hard to find tuataras in the wild so you will have to find them in captivity such as at Aukland Zoo.

The Kea

The kea is the world’s only parrot that lives in the snow. It is known for being intensely intelligent and can be found all over the country searching for food. Fittingly, a group of kea is known as a circus.

The Kiwi

The kiwi is a must-see on any New Zealand trip. Known as the country’s national animal, it is a sight to behold. Not only do they look really cute but see if you can spot one of their eggs—they’re about a quarter of the female’s body weight!

View this post on Instagram

Meet Sparky, a North Island Brown Kiwi that lives at the Whangarei Native bird recovery center on NZ North Island. I had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful ‘spokesbird’ while living in New Zealand. He travels from school to school and event to event teaching people the importance of wildlife conservation and appreciation. It’s a tiring job but I’m glad he’s up for it. Too many of these guys get attacked by cats and dogs or introduced pests or sadly hit by cars. Awareness can go along way with the general public some of which have no idea these guys exist or where. #kiwi #kiwibird #newzealand #newzealandbirds #nzbirds #birdsofaotearoa #aotearoa #whangarei #birdrescue #conservation #wildlifeconservation #birds #feather_perfection  #nuts_about_birds #planetbirds #bb_of_ig #bestbirdshots #featured_wildlife #ip_birds #birds_adored #earthcapture #bbcearth #animal_sultans #bird_brilliance #pocket_birds #birds_captures #birds_private #birds #your_best_birds #kings_birds #wildlife_perfection

]]> Treehouses were a staple of many our childhoods, but have you ever been inside one of them as an adult? Treehouse lodging is a trend that’s gaining more and more popularity as people discover just how cool it can be to sleep in one of these dwellings.

So, just what are the reasons that they have become so popular as a vacation spot? Let’s check out three advantages they have!

Living a Childhood Dream

Treehouses evoke memories of childhood when we were all carefree and full of wonder. Treehouses represent this feeling in a certain way and even if you go back as an adult, many of these memories are sure to come back.

Connecting with Nature

Spending your vacation in a forest suspended amongst the trees is a great way to connect with nature and leave the material world behind. There’s nothing like hearing the leaves rustle with the breeze and the calls of birds while staying in a treehouse.

Calming and Relaxing

Staying in a hotel with lots of other people in the middle of a city has a time and a place, but if you want to just kick back and get away from it all, a treehouse is a fantastic option. You’ll be calm and relaxed during your entire stay.

]]> Traveling may be on hold right now, but who says you can’t get on your bike and explore the area around you? Bikepacking is the latest trend and the best replacement for backpacking if you want to be faster and see more things at once.

The word bikepacking combines bike and backpacking, and it’s pretty clear what it means. You put everything you need for a day or a weekend in a backpack, hop on your bike, and get going. Pack lightly but don’t forget any necessities and enough food and you’re in for the time of your life.

The only way to make bikepacking more fun than it already is is to do it with a friend. You can pack a tent and turn it into a great weekend in nature. Bikes will allow you to move fast in case the weather gets bad or you get bored by the place you choose.

This is the perfect way to get to know the forests, lakes, and other nature near the place where you live. Would you give bikepacking a try?

]]> Flora tourism is a growing market in the travel industry. More and more people are traveling far and wide to discover strange new plant species and experience the wonders of nature’s glorious products. Here are some unusually aesthetic trees from around the world that its well worth adding to your collection.

Baobab

These strange “upside-down” trees can be found mainly in Africa and Australia. Their wide trunks and short little branches make them look as though they are upside down, their roots in the air.

The Silk Floss Tree

Native to South America, these unusual trees have big bellies like trunks adorned with silk-filled spikes and great blooming pink flowers.

California Redwoods

These great giants can grow to a height of over 300 feet and a width of 20 feet. Their colossal red trunks reaching up to the sky really is a sight to behold.

The Tule Tree

Known as the widest tree on the planet, this sprawling Montezuma Cypress is believed to be between 2000-3000 years old. Over time, the ancient tree has twisted itself into strange patterns and shapes, many of which are named after animals such as the elephant and the jaguar.

]]> Namibia is an amazing, advanced, and fascinating country, combining the developed West with traditional Africa.

On a trip to Namibia, you will travel among beautiful nature reserves, royal wildlife, archeological remains, and tribal villages, alongside resort towns.

Namibia is a very large country, located in southwestern Africa on the Atlantic coast and bordering South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, and Angola. It is a charming tourist destination, with desert scenery, beautiful sites, and good tourism infrastructure.

Among the tourist attractions in Namibia, you can visit the village of the Himba tribe which preserves ancient traditions

You can also visit the stunning orange dunes of Sesriem. The dunes are an unusual sight, especially at sunrise. It is advisable to reach Sassariam early in the morning, and drive towards Sososwali, to climb one of the dunes.

Another impressive sight is the Cape Cross Reserve with tens of thousands of seals lying along the shore.

If you want a more pampering trip, consider Swakopmund, a resort town, nestled on the Atlantic coast. Most of the buildings in the city were built in the early twentieth century, and the food and cakes are typical of German cuisine.

A visit to Namibia will leave you breathless and will win your heart.

Different shades of Ladakh 😍

A post shared by NISHIT SHARMA | Film Maker (@hopping_bug) on

Ladakh is a very unique region in India—the formidable Himalayas separate the Indian subcontinent from the Ladakh desert and create a distinct area with (mainly Buddhist) culture and special, unique views. Ladakh is actually a cold desert, dotted with green valleys and snowy mountains at very high altitudes.

The main city of Ladakh is La, an inviting, pleasant, and comfortable city, that has a variety of accommodation, shops, and even a pedestrian zone. 

A trip to Ladakh is highly recommended precisely because it is not the touristy and familiar part of India. The significant Buddhist presence (and no less important—the delicious Momo!), the proximity to Pakistan and China, and the alien-like landscapes make Ladakh a must-see destination for any traveler to India.

]]> If you’re a nature lover and enjoy wildlife expeditions, New Zealand is a great place to visit. Home to a large variety of vibrant flora and fauna, you can spot many rare and exotic animals.

When you’re out in New Zealand searching for wildlife, here are 4 peculiar native creatures to look out for.

The Kakapo

Only around 100 left worldwide, the kakapo is a fluffy, flightless, and nocturnal parrot that can sometimes be found waddling around the forest floor.

Don’t be fooled by the mobility of the Earth’s ONLY flightless parrot! With the Kakapo’s strong but short legs and large feet, it is still able to easily hike around the island and climb the branches of trees to safely roost and sleep during the day and become active at night. • • • #Repost @kakapo_recovery Kākāpō Alison who once suffered from a fractured leg stares disapprovingly at the rangers that have visited to perform a routine health check. You would never know she injured it because she sure can climb. Named after Alison Ballance; a zoologist, broadcaster, and writer who produced and presented Radio New Zealand’s weekly science and environment programme Our Changing World. Also author of Kākāpō: Rescued from the Brink of Extinction.

The Tuatara

The only remaining kind of reptile older than the dinosaurs, the tuatara is known as a “living fossil.” Of immense importance to science, it is hard to find tuataras in the wild so you will have to find them in captivity such as at Aukland Zoo.

The Kea

The kea is the world’s only parrot that lives in the snow. It is known for being intensely intelligent and can be found all over the country searching for food. Fittingly, a group of kea is known as a circus.

The Kiwi

The kiwi is a must-see on any New Zealand trip. Known as the country’s national animal, it is a sight to behold. Not only do they look really cute but see if you can spot one of their eggs—they’re about a quarter of the female’s body weight!

Meet Sparky, a North Island Brown Kiwi that lives at the Whangarei Native bird recovery center on NZ North Island. I had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful ‘spokesbird’ while living in New Zealand. He travels from school to school and event to event teaching people the importance of wildlife conservation and appreciation. It’s a tiring job but I’m glad he’s up for it. Too many of these guys get attacked by cats and dogs or introduced pests or sadly hit by cars. Awareness can go along way with the general public some of which have no idea these guys exist or where. #kiwi #kiwibird #newzealand #newzealandbirds #nzbirds #birdsofaotearoa #aotearoa #whangarei #birdrescue #conservation #wildlifeconservation #birds #feather_perfection  #nuts_about_birds #planetbirds #bb_of_ig #bestbirdshots #featured_wildlife #ip_birds #birds_adored #earthcapture #bbcearth #animal_sultans #bird_brilliance #pocket_birds #birds_captures #birds_private #birds #your_best_birds #kings_birds #wildlife_perfection
