Amazing Adventure Holidays Around The World 

Many adventure travelers look forward to planning an incredible experience every year. Active adventurers yearn for new challenges, the best moments they can cherish, and lessons they can apply in future endeavors. With many countries that cater to unique adventures, there is no trouble for you to start planning your own adventure holiday. In this article, you will learn about a number of adventure holidays that are readily available to active travelers.

Trek in Faraway Places

Trekking activities can possibly be one of the things that come to your mind when talking about adventure holidays. Of course, you have to be physically prepared before embarking on a trekking adventure, especially when you’re going with a group of friends or even your family members.

There are several trekking havens in the world. Consider Morocco, which boasts of Mount Toubkal. Considered as north Africa’s highest peak, Mount Toubkal, stands 4,167 meters tall.  It is, however, recommended to climb the mountains during winter. In summer, temperatures can reach a 37-degree-Celsius high, which is not an ideal temperature level when trekking.

Northern India, stretching to the Himalyan mountains is perhaps the most sought after trekking destination in the world.   Trekking opportunities abound from Napal, to Tibet and Ladakh.  This part of the world presents many varied environments and terrains for experiencing off-the-beaten-path trekking destinations.

You may also consider visiting Machu Picchu, an ancient city found in the Andes mountain range of Peru. The whole trekking experience may take a full four days, but that depends on your pace. If you are alone on your adventure holiday, you may consider booking an organized tour along the Inca Trail, which also includes other activities such as zip-lining.

Another Latin American country that offers easily accessible trekking opportunities is Costa Rica. Recognized for its massive biodiversity, the country has Corcovado National Park Rainforest, which houses different exotic animals. Aside from hiking, you may also consider swimming and enjoying the tropical sunset on the beaches of Costa Rica.  There is even an active volcano with dramatic hiking opportunities.

Join a Biking Adventure

Vietnam has emerged in recent years as a prime adventure destination.  Aside from its miraculous resurgence from being a war-torn and divided nation, to becoming one of the fastest emerging economies in Southeast Asia,Vietnam is certainly an expat’s favorite destination. With affordable services, accommodations, and food, it is a perfect place to enjoy a lot of activities while spending less.

But there’s something more special in Vietnam, especially for biking enthusiasts. In northern Vietnam, the use of bicycles is a way of life, and you can simply integrate with commoners by renting a bike and explore what the country has to offer without paying to be on a formal bike tour.

Europe has its famed Danube River, and according to Ben Ross, in his published Telegraph article, the areas that surround the river have become a popular adventure getaway destination for cyclists. To better know your cycling performance during your adventure holiday, using a 4iiii power meter is your best option. The most popular starting point of this cycling adventure is in Passau, which is located in Germany.

Go For A Run

Marathon running has dramatically increased in popularity in recent years.  It’s clear from the number of step-counting devices worn on every wrist, that fitness is being incorporated into everyday and leisure activities.  The number of half and full marathons across the globe is ever increasing.  While you can find a marathon being scheduled in most major cities across the globe, consider going for a completely unique run….in China!

China, a rising superpower, may be known for being the most populous country in the world, but you may not know that it offers a perfect blend of culture, history, and nature. From the huge palace complexes in the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace to visiting exotic food stalls around Beijing, there are plenty of things to do in the capital and the rest of China.

One of the extreme activities you may do is a Great Wall Marathon. This activity will surely test your endurance, as the challenging course includes running more than 5,000 steps.

The Great Wall, recognized as one of the seven wonders of the world, is majestic in itself, but doing something extraordinary adds a different flavor during your visit. Hello! Magazine reports that one of the successful marathoners of the Great Wall challenge is none other than Pippa Middleton, the sister of the Duchess of Cambridge. Pippa finished the course in less than five hours; you may want to beat it.

Aside from the Great Wall, you can do trekking activities in the mountains of China, which is endowed with verdant and picturesque views. There are also wonderful limestone formations of the Stone Forest and the well-maintained Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in Lijiang and Zhongdian.
