For many, Jamaica means reggae, and reggae means Bob Marley. If this sounds like you, a visit to Kingston definitely means a visit to the reggae superstar’s former home and studio. The large, creaky colonial-era wooden house on Hope Rd where Marley lived and recorded from 1975 until his death in 1981 is the city’s most-visited site. Today the house functions as a tourist attraction, museum and shrine, but much remains as it was during Marley’s day.
Virgin Islands National Park covers two-thirds of St John, plus 5650 acres underwater. It’s a tremendous resource, offering miles of shoreline, pristine reefs and 20 hiking trails.

Green iguanas, geckoes, hawksbill turtles, wild donkeys and an assortment of other feral animals roam the landscape.

The world-famous reef break known as the Soup Bowl is right off the beach and is one of the best waves in the Caribbean islands. Don’t underestimate the break just because the region is not known for powerful surf – Soup Bowl gets big. The best months are August to March.
Simply divine. Located just around the corner from Port Elizabeth, it is one of the loveliest stretches of sand on the island. To get there requires a slightly contrived journey, traveling on the main road south and turning down the narrow road to the beach (about a five-minute, US$10 taxi trip), or get a ride on one of the boats idling in the harbor for about US$20.
A scenic inlet, the Carenage is a great place for a stroll along the water’s edge, taking in the colorful fishing boats and the bustle of supplies being loaded for other islands. At the north end, the sturdy Georgian buildings overlooking the water – including the red-brick National Library – have been restored.

Wedged between the high wall of the Himalaya and the steamy jungles of the Indian plains, Nepal is a land of snow peaks and Sherpas, yaks and yetis, monasteries and mantras.
Mountain Adventures
Ever since Nepal first opened its borders to outsiders in the 1950s, this tiny mountain nation has had an irresistible mystical allure for travellers. Today, legions of trekkers are drawn to the Himalaya’s most iconic and accessible hiking, some of the world’s best, with rugged trails to Everest, the Annapurnas and beyond. Nowhere else can you trek for days or even weeks in incredible mountain scenery, secure in the knowledge that a hot meal, cosy lodge and warm slice of apple pie await you at the end of the day. Nepal is nirvana for mountain lovers.
Other travellers are drawn here by the adrenaline rush of rafting down a roaring Nepali river or bungee jumping into a bottomless Himalayan gorge. Canyoning, climbing, kayaking, paragliding and mountain biking all offer a rush against the backdrop of some of the world’s most dramatic landscapes.
Temples & Tigers
Other travellers prefer to see Nepal at a more gentle pace, admiring the peaks over a gin and tonic from a Himalayan viewpoint, strolling through the temple-lined medieval city squares of Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur, and joining Buddhist pilgrims on a spiritual stroll around the centuries-old stupas and temples that lie scattered across the Kathmandu Valley.
Further south lie Nepal’s wild and woolly national parks, where nature buffs scan the treetops for exotic bird species and comb the jungles for rhinos and tigers from the backs of lumbering Indian ele-phants. Whether you cross the country by mountain bike, motorbike, raft or tourist bus, Nepal offers an astonishingly diverse array of attractions and landscapes.
Travel Heaven
There are few countries in the world that are as well set up for independent travel as Nepal. Wandering the trekking shops, bakeries and pizzerias of Thamel and Pokhara, it’s easy to feel that you have somehow landed in a kind of backpacker Disneyland. Out in the countryside lies a quite different Nepal, where traditional mountain life continues stoically and at a slower pace, and a million potential adventures glimmer on the mountain horizons.
The biggest problem faced by visitors to Nepal is how to fit everything in. Many people have spent a lifetime exploring the mountain trails of the Himalaya and the atmospheric temple towns of the Middle Hills, and they still keep coming back for more. Our advice is to pick a handful of essential experiences for your first visit and save the rest for trips two, three and four…
Oman is a country that seemed to escape the notice of all but the most intrepid of travelers until just a few years ago. It now welcomes visitors with renowned Arabian hospitality and is eager to share both the culture and countryside that the Sultan is determined to protect. An ideal destination for guaranteed winter sunshine, Muscat is the perfect base from which to enjoy the spectacular coastline, boasting beautiful white sand beaches, turquoise waters and excellent diving. From here, the imposing rugged interior mountain ranges, Al Hajar and Al Jabal al Akhdar, can be easily explored.
A colorful time to visit Yùyuán Gardens. People make yuánxiāo or tāngyuán (glutinous rice dumplings with sweet fillings) and some carry paper lanterns on the streets. The Lantern Festival (元宵节; yuánxiāo jié ) falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month.

Borobudur is built from two million stone blocks in the form of a massive symmetrical stupa, literally wrapped around a small hill. Standing on a 118m by 118m base, its six square terraces are topped by three circular ones, with four stairways leading up through carved gateways to the top. The paintwork is long gone, but it’s thought that the grey stone of Borobudur was once coloured to catch the sun.
Viewed from the air, the structure resembles a colossal three-dimensional tantric mandala (symbolic circular figure). It has been suggested, in fact, that the people of the Buddhist community that once supported Borobudur were early Vajrayana or Tantric Buddhists who used it as a walk-through mandala.
Angkor Wat is the largest and undoubtedly the most breathtaking of the monuments at Angkor, and is widely believed to be the largest religious structure in the world. It is simply unique, a stunning blend of spirituality and symmetry, an enduring example of man's devotion to his gods. Relish the very first approach, as that spine-tickling moment when you emerge on the inner causeway will rarely be felt again.
It is the best-preserved temple at Angkor, as it was never abandoned to the elements, and repeat visits are rewarded with previously unnoticed details. It was probably built as a funerary temple for Suryavarman II (r 1112-52) to honour Vishnu, the Hindu deity with whom the king identified.There is much about Angkor Wat that is unique among the temples of Angkor. The most significant fact is that the temple is oriented towards the west. West is symbolically the direction of death, which once led a large number of scholars to conclude that Angkor Wat must have existed primarily as a tomb. This idea was supported by the fact that the magnificent bas-reliefs of the temple were designed to be viewed in an anticlockwise direction, a practice that has precedents in ancient Hindu funerary rites. Vishnu, however, is also frequently associated with the west, and it is now commonly accepted that Angkor Wat most likely served both as a temple and a mausoleum for Suryavarman II

The rigors of travelling in Africa mean that many visitors looking for a break from life on the road end up on a beach or island. And what beaches and islands! Zanzibar - the very name of this island conjures up a spicy heaven of perfume plantations, endless white beaches and whispering palm trees. Further into the Indian Ocean Île Sainte Marie is a delightful destination off the northeast coast of Madagascar. On Mozambique’s southern coast Tofo is legendary for its azure waters, sweeping white sands, rolling breakers and party atmosphere. The blissful beach destination of Limbe is surrounded by banana plantations in the shade of Mt Cameroon. The Tunisian island of Jerba offers an intoxicating mix of soft sandy beaches and idiosyncratic architecture. You don't need to be on the coast, either to enjoy beach life as the sandy bays of Lake Malawi prove.
Encompassing myriad landscapes, which range from the baking volcanic depths of the Rift Valley to the ice-capped summits of Kilimanjaro and the Rwenzoris, Africa has few peers when it comes to natural beauty.
Introducing Mt Kilimanjaro National Park
Since its official opening in 1977, Kilimanjaro
National Park has become one of Tanzania’s most visited parks.
Unlike the other northern parks, this isn’t for the wildlife, although it’s
there. Rather, it’s to gaze in awe at a mountain on the equator capped with
snow, and to climb to the top of Africa.
At the heart of the park is the 5896m Mt.Kilimanjaro,
Africa’s highest mountain and one of the continent’s magnificent sights. It’s
also one of the highest volcanoes and among the highest freestanding mountains
in the world, rising from cultivated farmlands on the lower levels, through
lush rainforest to alpine meadows, and finally across a barren lunar landscape
to the twin summits of Kibo and Mawenzi. (Kilimanjaro’s third volcanic cone,
Shira, is on the mountain’s western side.) The lower rainforest is home to many
animals, including buffaloes, elephants, leopards and monkeys, and elands are
occasionally seen in the saddle area between Kibo and Mawenzi.
A trek up Kili lures around 25,000 trekkers each
year, in part because it’s possible to walk to the summit without ropes or
technical climbing experience. Yet, non-technical does not mean easy. The climb
is a serious (and expensive) undertaking, and only worth doing with the right
preparation. There are also many opportunities to explore the mountain’s lower
slopes and learn about the Maasai and the Chagga, two of the main tribes in the
area.
There are entry gates at Machame, Marangu (which is
also the site of park headquarters), Londorosi and several other points.
Trekkers using the Rongai Route should pay their fees at Marangu gate.
The Victoria Falls are one of the world's most spectacular plunges. The 2km(1.2mi)-wide Zambezi River drops more than 100m (328ft) into a steeply-walled gorge. The Zambian side of Victoria Falls has long played second fiddle to its better-known Zimbabwean counterpart, but trouble next door means Livingstone is positively booming.
For close-up views of the Eastern Cataract, nothing beats the hair-raising (and hair-wetting) walk across the footbridge, through swirling clouds of mist, to a sheer buttress called the Knife Edge. If the water is low and the wind favourable, you'll be treated to a magnificent view of the falls and the yawning abyss below the Zambezi Bridge. Adrenaline junkies can indulge in white-water rafting, abseiling, river-boating, jet-boating, bungee jumping and a host of airborne activities. At certain times of year it is even possible to visit Livingstone Island and swim at the very edge of the Falls, though sadly it's no longer free. Don't get so caught up with activities that you miss one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world.
