A few years back, Tourism was more about backpacking in Europe or travelling to the Indian subcontinent for cultural insights. But in the past few years, tourism trends have changed as new destinations emerge. Instead of going to a mall and sea filled with skyscrapers, the tourist is now looking for raw natural beauty and spoiled culture to spend their holiday. As Holi becomes more about rejuvenation and learning, not just about spending money on exciting destinations, it has been a source of tension for tourists. We have covered a few attractive emerging destinations worldwide that should be on your following vacation list.
Nepal
This beautiful nation of culture and nature has been famous among backpackers and nature lovers for a long time. The majestic Himalaya range of Nepal makes the most stunning mountain scenery in the world with broad, beautiful valleys, forests full of Rhododendrons, exciting swift-flowing rivers, infinite adventures, and infinite trekking options. While trekking is the most popular adventure in Nepal, there are other exciting sports such as skydiving right above the majestic Mount Everest, Paragliding before Mount Annapurna above the stunning valley of Pokhara, the world’s second highest world in Kusma, and the thrilling river rafting at the rapid flowing Trishuli River.
Our best-recommended activity in Nepal is the Everest Base Camp Trek with helicopter return, where you can explore the Everest area’s culture and religion during a week-long trek. Then, you will catch a helicopter right from the Everest base camp. Then, you fly above Mount Everest to view the entire Panorama of the Himalayas right in front of your eyes. You’ll land in Kathmandu, where you can explore more culture and century-old architecture. And this tour in Nepal is quite affordable as well. Now, isn’t that amazing?

Surrounded by stunning scenery ingrained by geysers, hot springs, glaciers, and immense waterfalls, Iceland is an island country in the Nordic region with such attractions as volcanoes, geysers, hot springs, and lava areas.
