Ideas For Unique Holiday Destinations

Posted on 24. Jan, 2012 by blogger in Uncategorized

Fancy somewhere different for your next holiday?  Tired of booking the same types of holidays year after year?  Check out our list of unique holiday destinations…

1. Siberia

Yes, you’ll probably need your woollies.  But what an experience!  Check out Siberian villages like Khatanga, where you can meet reindeer herders, stand on the actual North Pole (!) and visit the Polar Museum (located in St Petersburg). 

2. Antarctica

Do this and Siberia and you might have experienced standing at both ends of the earth!  Many people take cruises here to take advantage of experts who travel on the cruise ships to give tours and talks about all the wonders that can be seen on this continent, from penguins and whales to great ice structures that will take your breath away.

3. Tibet

There are obviously plenty of cultural difficulties faced by the people of Tibet, whom are still under the oppression of China.  But their unique culture is what attracts many visitors each year, who want to see the home of Tibetan Buddhism  and of the Dalai Lama.

4. South Korea

Stay in Seoul to see the demilitarised zone (commonly referred to as the DMZ), the no-mans’ land between North and South Korea for an idea of how tense relations between the neighbouring countries are (if you’re feeling brave).  A different and educational holiday destination for the adventurous.

5. Transylvania

A good place for vampire fans!  Beautiful scenery, fabulously gothic castles and full of ancient buildings await those who will brave the legends of the vampires…!

6. The Amazon

Take a guided cruise down the river to see creatures unique to this area such as the Amazon turtle, not to mention the rainforest and all its native inhabitants. 

7. Mongolia

This contrasting land of mountains and desert is filled with nomads.  Follow in their footsteps by taking a horseback or camel trek across the steppes of the mountains or through the desert. Totally unspoilt by man, this really is the height of wilderness and is not to be missed by someone seeking a truly unique holiday.   Perhaps not a good choice for agoraphobics.
