7 Great Destinations for Every Adventure Traveler

 Reading Time:  about 

Traveling and taking tours of the world's capitals are unquestionably beneficial because they provide you with the chance to learn about the cultures, traditions, and customs of other people, which broadens your perspective and makes you a little more discerning. Every trip is an adventure in and of itself, yet for many, simple city tours, beach parties, or strolls through renowned retail malls are simply insufficient.

To learn more about the other side of the planet, you must move outside of your comfort zone, allow yourself to feel and face every fear, and gradually open up some whole new vistas. This time, we advise you to take an unconventional, adventurous journey you have long longed for. You will undoubtedly return from these experiences richer, happier, and brimming with boundless energy. To that end, make sure you check out these 7 great destinations for every adventure traveler!

Giza, Egypt

Egypt should be on your travel list because of its incredible natural beauty. Indeed, from its dreamlike seas and golden beaches to its magnificent architecture and natural healing methods, Egypt is definitely a place that has a lot to offer.

Given the fact that it is one of the oldest and most fascinating civilizations ever, Egypt also has a myriad of ancient marvels. Some of the most well-known are the Great Pyramids of Giza, which, along with ancient Egyptian monuments and tombs, continue to capture the interest of leading archaeologists and, of course, the general public. Not only that, the ruins of the ancient Egyptian civilization are still being found today. To that end, Egypt represents a great destination for every adventure traveler. 

To that end, if you have never been to Africa or had the chance to see the pyramids in Cairo or the Luxor Valley, you may be asking which pyramids are the most important for you to see. There are 118 in total. Ideally, you should start with a tour in Luxor, where you can see a temple from 1400 BC; with a trip to Cairo, where you can see the three great pyramids of Cheops, Chefren, and Mykerinus; and with a visit to the largest outdoor bazaar, Han El Khalili, where you can find spices, jewelry, fabrics, leather, shisha, and decorative items.

This leads you to the next segment of this beautiful country, i.e., cuisine. For sure, you will be astonished by the oriental magic that is spread by various foods and dishes. Get out of your comfort zone and feel free to try out foods that you have never tasted before!

Uvac Special Nature Resort, Serbia

Many people visit Serbia to experience its offerings throughout the week or during their annual vacation. The pictures going around the Internet are incredibly magnificent and leave us doubting the existence of such a thing in Serbia. Although there are a ton of fantastic images of the Uvac Canyon online, none of them truly capture its grandeur. The natural beauty provides a breath of calm and quiet in a nation where the majority of people live in cities.

The first spot on the list of the most picturesque locations in Serbia is the unique natural reserve of Uvac, often known as the “Kingdom of the Griffon Vulture". Likewise, there are three man-made lakes. Furthermore, Uvac is reminiscent of the most exquisite postcards or hand-painted works of art. The meanders of it, which swirl in an amazing fashion, are a distinctive attraction. It is the place where you will see the most exquisite shades of green and blue that you never even imagined could exist when you stare at Lake Uvac. 

Both the lake and the canyon at Uvac can be reached by boat, in addition to on foot and by trekking. This is often challenging, but if you are an adventurous type of person, you will certainly like it! On the other hand, if you are fond of photography, the hill tips provide breathtaking views of the lake and the entire Uvac canyon. There are tall, steep limestone cliffs surrounding the river Uvac, as well as caves, pits, bays, and forests in the area. 

What is more, if you are an animal lover, then Uvac is a fantastic destination for you. As already mentioned, "Kingdom of the Griffon Vulture" is another name for the designated nature reserve of Uvac. This is because this reserve has an abundance of birds and other animals as well. More precisely, it is home to 172 different bird species, 24 different fish species, and more than 2,000 different plant species. One of the bird species most in danger of extinction in Serbia is the griffon vulture. Fortunately, the area is home to one of the biggest nesting colonies in the Balkans and the biggest nesting colony in Serbia. On Uvac right now, there are roughly 450 griffon vultures. Along with this kind of bird, Uvac is also frequented by great hornbills, bearded eagles, white harriers, and black vultures. On the Uvac River, recreational fishing is permitted, but only with prior authorization.

Switzerland

Switzerland is renowned for its delicious chocolate, but it's also a great destination for adventurous travel. Indulge your passion for adventure by trekking, hiking, snowboarding, skiing, and paragliding to your heart's delight in the magnificent Alps. Also, if you're considering where to stay, we suggest checking out various options and finding the one where you will enjoy the spectacular view through the glass windows directly to the high mountain peaks. To that end, for example, by using ThisHotel, you can find accommodation wherever you are. Make sure you also go to places where you can ride a bike across the countryside, scale the high ropes, or relax at a Swiss spa. In renowned adventure locations like Bern, Lucerne, and Interlaken, you can experience spectacular alpine activities!

Georgia

If you are an avid skier, Eastern Europe, notably Georgia, is a new destination. The best ski resort in Georgia is Gudauri, which is just around 120 km north of the country's capital, Tbilisi, on the southern slopes of the vast Caucasus mountain range. 

Moreover, besides perfect tracks and high mountain ridges, Georgia is also home to many historic towns, to some very old Orthodox monasteries that are frequently above 4000 meters above sea level. Visits to these monasteries are made possible by special trips, which are an adventure in themselves.

Alaska

Every year at the beginning of March in Alaska, the Iditarod dog sled race takes place. It involves traveling from the state's main city, Anchorage, all the way to the city of Nome.

Long before trading with people from other nations and continents developed, Alaskans raised their own sled dogs, which were eventually crossed with other breeds. So, we advise you to embark on an Arctic Dog Adventure, during which Siberian huskies will pull you along on a sled through the night as you admire the Aurora Borealis!

Sicily

With its stunning beaches, sapphire-clear waters, superb wines, delicious food, and numerous ancient monuments, Sicily will enchant you. We advise that the focus be shifted away from the conventional tourist route and toward some lesser-known treasures like Catania. The town is distinguished by vibrant markets and a humming plaza with houses made of black lava stone and Roman ruins. In fact, a Mediterranean cruise may serve as the ideal introduction for first-timers to the region's fascinating culture. 

Adventurers may travel to Mount Etna to take a cable car trip over a sea of black lava and take in the natural beauty of the area. There are at least 250 wineries waiting for you when you get there if the trek to the UNESCO-recognized volcano wears you out.

India

The Himalayas, Rajasthan's deserts, the frenetic cities of Mumbai and Delhi, Kerala's backwaters, and Goa's beaches are just a few of the world's finest adventure travel locations. 

Because there is something for everyone, including camel rides, wildlife safaris, mountain treks, skydiving, gastronomic tours, and photographic excursions, India is unquestionably one of the finest places to go on an adventure vacation.

India's natural beauty is among the finest reasons to travel there. India is endowed with abundant natural beauty from the north to the south and from the east to the west. It offers several destinations where you may see nature in all of its splendor. 

Next, delicious Indian cuisine, which is available in all of its states, is one of the finest reasons to travel there. It is a severe no-no to skip enjoying the famed specialties when in India, from fancy dining to street cuisine. In this food-loving nation, you will find delectable cuisines and delicacies in every nook and cranny.
