Holidays are a great way to explore the world and enjoy its beauty. They allow you to see new things and appreciate a different experience while making new memories. Usually, when people think of a holiday adventure, they see thousands of dollars going up in smoke. However, you do not have to break the bank or burn a bag to live your life.
Whether you are a daredevil at heart or a gentle soul who wants to be one with nature, there is something for you. Escape the ordinary with one of these holiday adventures below.
Mountain Hiking
Mountain hiking can mean anything from a stroll to an intense trek up a mountain. It often involves climbing to the peak through a trail, from the bottom or part-way up. Mountain hiking is one of the most popular holiday activities in the world. According to an adventure tour company in Scottsdale, “lots of requests come in for mountain hiking adventures yearly.”
This increase in popularity can be attributed to the many benefits. Hiking allows you to get some exercise while taking in a breath of fresh air. You enjoy the serenity of nature while keeping fit. So why not, at least once in your life, take up this fun activity that allows you to interact with nature and stay healthy?
Mountain Biking
You can take it up a notch with mountain biking. For beginners, you can seek a great tour company to help you find trails that fit your skill level and gradually upgrade. Mountain biking is another fun holiday adventure experience with loads of health benefits.
Sledding
Sometimes, the world can get too warm. You miss the cold a little and want to just play in the snow. If this is you, then add sledding to your next holiday activity. Whether you are dog sledding (driving a team of huskies to pull you through the snow) or going down the slope with your sled, you will surely have a great experience.
Go out and enjoy the peaceful, scenic cold.
A Trek Along the Great Wall of China
The Great Wall of China is one of the 7 Wonders of the World, and visiting it is an adventure you would enjoy. You can also learn a lot about Asia’s old history. If you want to challenge yourself, you can participate in the Great Wall Marathon, the world’s most challenging marathon. You may be lucky to enter the history books as one of only 20 people to complete this arduous marathon and live the rest of your life in fulfillment.
There are other interesting destinations in China, such as The Terracotta Army in Xi’an or the Forbidden City in Beijing you might also want to see.
Tree Camping
Camping is fun and all, but have you ever camped in trees? In tree camping, tents are built and set up by hanging them like hammocks between trees. This eliminates the stress of looking for smooth or bug-free grounds to lay your head and your stuff. All you need are some big, sturdy trees, and you are good to go. It is also one of the easiest ways to camp. You only need a tree tent, lamp, and your camping essentials.
Make sure to go with an expert in your first few attempts because it can be daunting. With time, you will find it to be a fulfilling adventure.
Road Trips Between Countries or States
Road trips are some of the cheapest adventures anybody can go on. It is as simple as getting into a vehicle, grabbing a good, old-school map or a modern GPS, and setting off into the sunset. Consider taking the desert and mountain routes on your trip to enjoy the beauty of nature.
You will also enjoy the fresh air that rejuvenates you. To wrap it up, stop at a motel for the night and enjoy a peaceful night with friends, family, or just by yourself.
African Safari Exploration
Travel to the great continent of Africa to see the animals you would only see in a zoo in their natural habitat. Watch elephants, wild dogs, hyenas, lions, cheetahs, and other big cats hunt and interact with the nature around them. You can even be lucky to have some of them ride with you in your safari car.
If you are afraid of the wild, you can enjoy African Safaris through photographs and videos. Some Safaris offer these photo and video tours as services. Spend some time interacting with nature once in your lifetime. The memory is always worth it.
The late Hellen Keller once said, “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” In essence, ensure you go out to explore the world at least once.
