Burma

For ages Burma has remained isolated and only the most intrepid travelers ventured into this country due its political issues, however its doors are now open for exploration. It is a country where traditions are still held high with men still wearing long red robes to work and whose main feature is the Ayeyarwaddy which traverses the country from the Himalayas to the Andaman Sea. It has served as the main trade artery for centuries connecting China and India and due to its importance dynasties sprang along its banks.
It is the best destination for anyone seeking a different kind of experience, but one would require a good travel insurance policy when engaging in adventurous activities. This old world atmosphere gives visitors a quirky exotic experience that is unrivalled by any other place on the planet. The main highlights of holidays in Myanmar or Burma include Bagan with its thousands of ancient monuments, peaceful lake Inle, the religious capital Mandalay and the unspoilt beautiful beach of Ngapali on the Bay of Bengal. You can venture into the land into the mud housed villages and get to experience the culture and friendly hospitality of the Burmese people who still remain smiling amidst all the woes.
Egypt

Egypt is not one of the countries that you can easily ignore on the world travel map; it is a country that still received attention long before civilization. It is home to some of world’s most recognized archeological and historical treasures such as the mysterious pyramids of Giza. In a place such as Egypt which has had its fair share of visitors since the biblical times, it is hard to discover the lesser trampled areas in this ancient country.
However if you venture off to the lesser known areas, there still are, even in your own house there are rooms you do not enter every day hence even on luxury holidays in Egypt you can escape the torture of the overcrowded attractions and meet incredibly genuine and hospitable people and see the other side of Egypt. While most people will remain along the beaches of the Sinai Peninsula, you can delve deeper into the inland and witness the dramatic mountainous region around Mount Sinai. However ensure that your travel insurance covers the “risky” adventures before going off the beaten path in Egypt.
Fiji

For anyone who loves water and everything associated with it, Fiji is the rightful place to be. With it’s over 300 glittering emerald isles, pristine white sandy beaches, colorful reefs and lush verdant landscapes it offers an endless choice of adventure based activities involving the land, sea and air. This archipelago is regarded as a sportsmen paradise as adrenaline rushing activities have catapulted Fiji into first place as the South Pacific’s best choice for soft adventure, which reminds me, adventure remains as such whether soft or not and hence ensure you have a working travel insurance policy so you can engage in these activities without worries.
If you have in the past been travelling and never trying anything new other than walking, trekking and probably surfing, it is time to go off the beaten path and try out new things like swimming with the manta rays in the Yasawas, world class shark diving in the Pacific Harbor, white water rafting in the remote highlands and get a deep in the mud at Sabeto hot springs and mud baths courtesy of Mother Nature.
