Embark on the Journey: 5 Life-changing Travel Experiences
Contents [hide]
We understood that everyone experiences places differently, and each of these experiences is valid. So, if you have the ultimate list of experiences, it would be wrong to call them the best travel experiences in the world. These top life experience lists are entirely subjective; everyone will have a different list.
We see new places, meet new people, indulge in new activities. The experiences make us a different person. Traveling is about stepping on a landmark and breathing in the essence of the place. The good thing is that there are countless incredible things to see and life-changing experiences in this vast, wide world.
Snorkel in Bora Bora
There’s no need to carry your diving gear; bring a mask and snorkel, dive into the shallow lagoon, and wait for a graceful giant to glide quietly. The Bora Bora lagoon is home to hundreds of dazzling tropical fish, stingrays, manta rays, and reef sharks. Bora Bora offers snorkelers of all levels an entertaining lagoon environment to explore.
There are coral gardens in the tranquil lagoon. Advanced snorkelers will appreciate the other best snorkeling in Bora Bora on a trip that will take you to meet the sharks off the reef in the deep, royal blue Pacific Ocean.
Salar De Uyuni Salt Flats
If not on Earth, Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni is considered one of South America’s most extreme and remarkable prospects. Drive across the plains in a jeep and spend the night in a hotel made of salt, beds, chairs, tables, and the lottery.
Salar de Uyuni, in the middle of the Andes in southwestern Bolivia, is the largest salt flat in the world. Its vastness can be seen from the central island of Incahuasi. Although wildlife is rare in this unique ecosystem, it is home to many pink flamingos.
Visit the Temples of Bagan
The thousands of temples spread across the Bagan, sometimes pagan plains, are the most impressive testimony to the religious dedication of the people of Myanmar and the rulers through the centuries. Bagan was the capital of the Kingdom of Pagan from the 9th to the 13th centuries.
This kingdom was the first to communize the area that is now Myanmar and established Burmese culture and ethnicity as well as Theravada Buddhism in the region. During this reign, as the city and kingdom grew in influence and stature, over 10,000 temples were built on the plains around the capital alongside the Irrawaddy River.
Hike the Tongariro Crossing
Tongariro National Park is New Zealand’s oldest national park and a double-world heritage site. Tongariro National Park is rich in cultural identity and a dramatic, awe-inspiring natural backdrop. Unique landforms, including the volcanic peaks of Ngauruhoe, Tongariro, and Ruapehu, ensure that the Tongariro Alpine Crossing is considered a world-famous hike.
The hike climbs through volcanic terrain, with old lava fields, walks through giant calderas, and even past a smoking, steaming volcano that only erupted six years ago. The park’s volcanic activity is constantly monitored, with warning signs at various points along the way, warning hikers of what to do if an eruption occurs.
Go on A Bush Safari
Botswana is the safari destination par excellence. Central Botswana is at its best in the summer of Africa when the desert and salt pans become grasslands and parades of animals. A walking safari is a journey that takes you from the bike path into the bush on foot and immerses you in nature.
It is a safari that enriches the soul as you are forced to move at the pace of nature and use all your senses to attune yourself to the bush. It will include identifying tracks and bird calls, discussing exciting insects and plants, and learning about the ecosystem in general from your guide.
