Seven distinctly different trips that could alter your life
We all yearn for a break from the tedious, monotonous tasks and obligations of our daily existence. We are fortunate to have that possibility thanks to travel and vacations. Although every voyage is different, some of them are travel experience that changes your life. It can be the overwhelming grandeur of nature or taking in the remains of an area that once radiated affluence and power. They teach us humility and make us aware of the smallness of our existence.
Here are 7 offbeat getaways that should be on your bucket list if you want an unforgettable experience.
1. Mount Kailash, Tibet
Since at least 15000 years ago, Mount Kailash has been regarded as the planet's most sacred location. Buddhists, Jain, and Hindu pilgrims all believe that completing the 32.5-mile journey around Mount Kailash atones for lifetime sins. Mount Kailash will always be there, whether your goal is to grow closer to nirvana or you're just looking for significant sites to visit. The tales you learn about Tibet's splendour, mystique, and rich culture are a bonus.
2. Drive Along The Ring Road, Iceland
This can be your destination if you're prepared to be amazed by the incredible experience in the region of extremes. This 832-mile round journey around Iceland, commonly known as the ring road, is an unforgettable experience. With a continually shifting landscape made up of glaciers, magnificent waterfalls, weathered lava fields, and geothermal sites, a surprise is always around the corner. This particular trip offers a sense of seclusion that serves as a gentle reminder that you are but a mere mortal in the hands of mother nature.
3. Bagan, Myanmar
Bagan is the spot for you if you want something serene and majestic. The ruins of Buddhist temples constructed at Bagan, central Burma, a thousand years ago but destroyed by raids from the Mongols and natural disasters can be found here on the banks of the Irrawaddy River. This location is an archaeological delight that rivals Angkor Wat in Cambodia. Witnessing the sky light up with a shower of various orange hues over the temples as they meet the horizon at sunset is an incredible experience. Such a sight causes one to consider life's ambiguity and the things that matter. A trip that will change your life.
4. Atacama Desert, Chile
This journey may teach us a lesson in humility. It is the most consistently dry region of the planet despite being a vast 78,850 Km square desert at an elevation of 2408 metres. It is the best location in the world for seeing astronomical phenomena due to its altitude and almost nonexistent cloud cover. You can't help but realise how little our lives on earth are compared to the endless, unfathomable universe as you take in the beautiful night sky. A journey that truly changed your life, in our opinion!
5. Great Barrier Reef, Australia
This marine park, a rapidly disappearing natural wonder of the world, run over 3000 km parallel to Queensland up past the northern tip of Cape York. This is the only living thing on Earth visible from space and is larger than the Great Wall of China. The world's most impressive and expansive collection of corals, coral sponges, dolphins, over 1500 tropical fish species, birds, and 20 types of reptiles, including sea turtles and giant clams, may be found underwater. You should act quickly to embark on this life-altering journey because global warming raises the water's temperature, causing these corals to bleach.
6. Ganga Aarti, Haridwaar
You must witness the most exceptional and captivating Ganga Aarti in Har ki Saudi, Haridwar if you want to change your life on a budget. At dusk, the charming banks of the Ganga come alive with the sounds of aarti and chants, as well as the pulsating tones of the temple bells. There are no words to express the heavenly experience of seeing those many lamps of faith floating in the water. This soul-stirring experience inspires a deep part of you.
7. Gorilla Trekking, Rwanda
This safari will put you in the closest contact with a creature with 98% of the same genetic makeup as humans. Through Rwanda's Volcanoes Nation Park's rainforest, participants must endure a strenuous hike on this life-altering adventure trip. The park offers visitors access to 10 habituated gorilla families. It is similar to looking in a mirror into the unmoving eyes of a mother gorilla holding her young child in her lap. This prompts reflection on how dissimilar and yet similar we are to our evolutionary neighbours.
