Holidays again? Another hard task to decide how should you spend them? You're tired of lying in a beach or walking through museums? Want to try something different? Make your holiday extreme and be sure you'll never forget it!
One of the most popular extreme holidays is rafting. Rafting down one of the big rivers is for the true adventure. Legendary drops, thirty feet standing waves, rapids and riffles, all set against incomparably dramatic scenery, thick jungles and tribal people virtually untouched by the modern world. You may choose the track which includes old temples, tracks trough jungle and even accommodation at local people's houses, which are usually rather poor, but very interesting. This is a holiday for a true adventurer.
If you're seeking something excessively extreme, white shark expedition is just for you. This holiday is based on traveling trough shores of South Africa and meeting white sharks. You will be able to see them not only while standing on the dock, but also dive and see them deep under water. Of course you would have to make a special course before leaving, improve your diving skills, get some information about shark behavior and learn to behave with them. Meeting wild life creatures, especially as dangerous as white sharks, is very exciting and unforgettable. If you consider diving with sharks too extreme, you are able to choose diving with whales; these huge but not dangerous animals will surely make your holidays worth remembrance.
Don't like getting wet? Prefer land trips? Climbing is just for you then! Any mountains would do to achieve the goal of nice holidays. Yet if you'll choose the higher ones, it'll be more extreme. The expeditions usually take more than 10 days and are very exhausting. Sleeping in tents, walking and climbing trough snow, carrying heavy weight and sometimes even having problems with breathing, because of the air absence in high mountains, is definitely not for everyone. However, unbelievable views, absence of people and incredible feeling of the power of nature is worth anything.
Some other extreme holidays is a desert expedition. Only a real adventurer would dear to choose heat, desert animals like snakes and scorpions, absence of everything instead of a daily rest near the sea. Usually, such expeditions take place in Africa, so you will be able to see old caves, find water in the middle of a desert, meet local people, see places untouched by civilization and feel what mirage really is. Desert expedition is definitely worth any extreme hunter attention.
One of the most extreme holidays are the ones in North Pole. This extreme expedition includes climbing, diving, driving dog carriage and many more activities. You will be able to see arctic as it really is; its natural beauty and royalty, meet the Pole's flora and fauna and experience many adventures. Discovering Northern beauty requires a lot of willpower and strength, but seeing iceberg's real size under water.
Decided to have your holiday abroad? There are so many wonderful places to see that you have no idea what to choose? Our world is full of surprises.
The first step to decide on is what you want to see: some ancient wonders, natural wonders or modern wonders. They are all worth seeing, but choosing one of those may help you understand the whole conception of that particular sphere a lot better.
If you made your mind on visiting ancient places the first destination you should think about is Egypt. Here you may find not only one of seven wonders - The Great Pyramid of Giza but also such interesting places as Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, burial places under ground with dark corridors and combs all cowered in ancient paintings.
Another great choice is China, where you'll find The Great Wall, which is the only human building that is visible from the moon, and have an opportunity to visit a number of ancient temples.
Those who find natural wonders more exciting should first of all visit Victoria Falls. No description or photos could substitute for the power of nature you feel while standing in front of them. Another natural wonder that is undoubtedly worth seeing is the Grand Canyon. It's the only place to see how small you really are.
Natural wonders are perfect for animal lovers, so may go to Serengeti and watch natural migration of wild animals. It's for real adventurers, because you'll face lions, tigers and even elephants yourself.
Modern wonders of this world are not popular places to see. Yet, most people have no idea how great they are and what impression can they give. Let's take, for example, the Golden Gate Bridge. Those who live in San Francisco find it daily and non special, but the very first sight may be just as impressive as an ancient temple. Eiffel Tower, the Gateway Arch, Mount Rushmore and similar wonders that man has created recently are just as wonderful and interesting as the ancient ones.
Visiting Hermitage museum in Russia is something really unforgettable. During your trip to Russia you may also visit Moscow, the capital of this huge country, which may be called a wonder itself.
If you still don't think any of these extreme holidays are for you, consider an event being a perfect wonder. Carnival of Rio or Venice may be something especially for you. Streets full of masked people and unstoppable noise will undoubtedly leave great impression on anyone. Moreover, you'll be able to see canals of Venice, which may also be referred to as wonder, or visit famous places in Brazil.
No matter what wonder you choose, natural, ancient, modern or an event, choose things of one kind. It's the best way to understand the whole spirit of nature or human kind in that certain period of time. Don't forget that the success of your trip depends only on you. No matter where you are traveling and what your destination is, always try to see more than traveling agencies offer you.
