Actually it cd be a good idea if the travel agent can assure safety. It will provide a close experience of the ravages of war.

I don’t have a death wish but do like the adventure. Any suggestions for my 2012 vacation? Looking for the unusual less traveled spot. Already been to North Korea, Burma, and Turkmenistan…

Tim,
If you like architecture, sylvan forests and rivers South India cd be a good choice. Climbing and trekking, then Kashmir, Uttarakand, Rajasthan and Gujarat.

The Florida Everglades in southern Florida, is one of the largest wetlands in the world. Several hundred years ago, this wetlands was a major part of a 5 million acre watershed that covered almost a third of the entire state of Florida. Today the Everglades consist of a shallow sheet of fresh water that rolls slowly over the lowlands and through billions of blades of sawgrass. I learned so much visiting this natural wonder.
It’s been designated a World Heritage Site, International Biosphere Reserve, and Wetland of International Importance, significant to all people of the world.

I visited the Mesa Verde Cliff Dwellings not long ago. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Montezuma, Colorado USA. This National Park was created in 1906 to protect some of the best-preserved cliff dwellings in the world.
There, you can see cliff side ruins of homes and villages built by the ancient Puebloan people. There are over 4,000 archaeological sites and over 600 cliff dwellings of the Pueblo people. The walks there were very inspiring. I hope you like the video!

Glacier National Park is located in Montana, USA. It borders the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. It’s one of the most beautiful national parks I’ve seen. In 1850, there were 150 giant glaciers in this mountainous region. Today, only 27 remain. Authorities estimate that by 2030, they could all be gone. If you’re every traveling in that neck of the woods, I highly recommend you visit this national treasure.

One of the most beautiful places in France is the little known town of Annecy. It is nestled at the foot of the Alps at the northern tip of Lake Annecy, one of the most crystal blue mountain lakes in the world. The mountain hiking near Annecy is fantastic too!

Lahore, Pakistan is a centre of traditional Pakistani food. The market, Food Street, is surrounded by centuries-old buildings. It’s open to traffic in the morning but as the sun sets, the street is closed to cars and scooters. This is where you can find the best traditional food in Lahore, even late night. First thing on the menu…bull testicles…a must-visit when you’re in Pakistan!

So interesting to catch a glimpse of everyday life in Lahore…people enjoying themselves with late night food & drink. So tired of seeing of only seeing US news reports telling me that Pakistan is nothing but a war-ravaged country on the brink of nuclear catastrophe. Thanks for the post!

True. Also by traveling one comes to understand the people one comes across and learns that everyone around the world have the same basic characteristics. It helps to reduce 'distance' among people and breeds love and respect. This can contribute to world peace in an intangible manner.
