Adventure
o
British Columbia and the Canadian Rockies

The natural wonders of Western Canada is no doubt at the top of the natural beauties of nature. Extending from temperate Vancouver Island and the nearby Gulf Islands up the Inside Passage to Prince Rupert and the Alaska border, British Columbia has thousands of miles of coastline. The large majority of British Columbia's interior is wilderness which includes seven national parks and fruit-laden Thompson Okanagan growing region. The dramatic Canadian Rockies rise in eastern B.C. but peak in western Alberta. It is highlighted by Banff National Park and rugged Jasper National Park to the north.

Norway

This travel destination may be the most underrated for outdoor enthusiasts but this is surely no less than any other travel destination. The Norwegian landscape abounds with open spaces and varied wilderness. You can surely enjoy the wild because Norway is only populated by less than 5 million. The world's best system of public huts and trails for hiking in the summer and cross-country skiing in the winter is being maintained by the Norwegian Trekking Association. That's not all, there is so much more to do in Norway, you can surf on white sand beaches above the Arctic Circle, hike the otherworldly Hardangervidda Plateau, and cruise the majestic western fjords for which Norway is most famous.

Bhutan

Money is nothing compare to the experience you will get in visiting the tiny Kingdom of Bhutan. Bhutan only receives a fraction of visitors comparing to its Himalayan mountain scenery rival Nepal not because it is less beautiful but because it is more expensive to got to Bhutan. Bhutan's visa is only about $20 but a prerequisite is booking with a guide that runs $200 per day and upward (the price includes room, board, and transportation). It may be expensive but certainly is in comparison to neighboring country and for those who can afford it Bhutan truly is a special place: a smaller and quieter version of Nepal preserved from outside influence. And you shouldn't miss its 25-day Snowman Trek. It is considered to be one among the world's most majestic and demanding hikes.

Holy Pilgrimage Mecca (Muslim Hajj)

Muslim Hajj is an obligation to every able-bodied Muslim. To complete this, they must go to Mecca, Saudi Arabia at least once in their lifetime. Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam and during this annual gathering; Muslim pilgrims converge on Mecca where they participate in series of ritual activities.

The tradition of pilgrimage to Mecca was believed to start date back to 2000BCE and the time of Abraham. Now the modern Hajj is modeled after journey of the Prophet Mohammed and his followers from Medina to Mecca. Taking part of the Muslim's tradition is up to 3 million in the rite each yaer.

Jerusalem

According to tradition, Jews living in ancient Israel were obliged by the Torah to make pilgrimage to Jerusalem on the three holy occasions of Pesach (Passover), Shavuot and Sukkot. The trips were made in union with special rituals performed at the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. After the destruction of the Temple in the first century, the pilgrimage is no longer compulsory practice for Jews. But hence, despite it, many still choose to travel to Jerusalem. And not only they travel on these occasions but also throughout the year in order to visit sites such as the Western Wall.

St. Peter's Basilica

The Vatican City is no stranger to millions of visitors every year, as the home of the Roman Catholic Church, many visitors choose the city as their travel destination. Adding up to its religious significance for Catholics, marvelous works of art like the Sistine Chapel attract secular tourists in droves.

Popular hotels/best hotels

o
The Lugger, Cornwall The setting for this 17th-century inn could not be better. Sandwiched between the cliffs in the tiny fishing village of Portloe the fiercely sloping landscape of which has spared it from development this whitewashed hotel looks out across the harbour. But it is not just about the location the 22 rooms are as bright and welcoming as the amiable staff, while the food (given its seafront position, fish features heavily) is superb. If you plan to push the boat out, opt to stay in the miniature cottage for something a bit special. Mama Shelter, Paris Cheap but chic, with quirky decor by Philippe Starck, and a buzzing bar and restaurant attracting cool Parisians. Beds feel luxurious; standard extras include Kiehl's toiletries, free WiFi and iMac televisions. The bedside fancy-dress masks are possibly not for everyone, but the price is. Hotel Alpenrose, Wengen, Switzerland This is the best sort of traditional, family-run hotel. You won't find designer furnishings or trappings, but it's a comfortable, well-run three-star set on a plateau at the edge of a pretty

Alpine village, with great views over the valley below (opt for a south-facing balcony room). It has a welcoming lounge with log fire, books, games and Wi Fi, friendly owners and staff, and a loyal band of regulars who return year after year to ski or walk in the mountains. Palazzo Zichy, Budapest This elegantly refashioned former Hungarian count's palace is an impressive fusion of 19thcentury Habsburg-era elegance and 21st-century (Italian designer) style. Beautiful, spacious lobby; sleek contemporary rooms; a funky sitting room area; and a great location in a wonderfully atmospheric part of Pest. A bargain to boot. The Inn at Narrow Passage, Woodstock, Virginia In the heart of rural Virginia, this beautifully restored and homely colonial inn served as Stonewall Jackson's headquarters during the American Civil War. Bedrooms are charmingly old-fashioned and filled with period antiques and each has a working fireplace. Breakfasts are the thing here; try the blueberry pancakes and French toast.
