If you are busy with your daily activities and want to go somewhere far away, there are many beautiful tourist destinations around the world where you can breathe a sigh of relief. But it is important to remember that going to these places will take some effort. So you have to be prepared. For example, after climbing 300 meters of sand dunes or an active volcano, you will not find a comfortable bed in a five star hotel here.
Concordia Pakistan:
To reach Concordia, the base camp of K2, the second highest mountain in the world, you will have to walk 10 days in Gilgit-Baltistan and cross the Baltoro, Goodwin Austin and Venezia glaciers.
Then you will reach the foot of K2, the second largest mountain in the world. There is no easy way to get here. It is one of the few places in the world where you can be buried in the middle of the mountains. It is called the ‘throne of the mountain gods’. The secret to the beauty of Concordia is its remoteness.
It was named after European tourists who thought the place looked like the European mountain range, the Alps.
Cape York, (Australia):
Australia is a country with many deserts. Cape York is a remote and inaccessible area for cities. To get to the far north of the country, you have to travel in a four-wheel drive jeep.
Cape York is about 1,000 kilometers from Cape Cairns, which means traveling by car for days and crossing crocodile-laden lakes. Your reward will be a rocky coastline. Just a rocky area, nothing more.
Quarter empty (Saudi Arabia):
Call it the Quarter of Empty or the ‘House of Silence’, the largest area of sand on earth feels somewhat empty. Maybe that’s why it’s called ‘Empty Quarter’. This area of the Arabian Peninsula is larger than France, Belgium and the Netherlands.
The sand dunes are even taller than the Eiffel Tower, which is more than 300 meters high and stretches for hundreds of kilometers. These sand dunes move up to 30 meters every year due to strong winds.
North Pole:
The northernmost point in the world is the North Pole. Some people call it the home of Santa Claus. There is no land in the North Pole compared to the South Pole.
Tourists who come here walk on water. The water that is made of ice in the Atlantic Ocean. In summer it is 9 million square kilometers, while in winter it is 16 million square kilometers. Its depth is only 5 meters. It’s amazing when compared to Antarctica’s 3,000-meter-wide ice.
National Park, Canada:
Canada’s second-largest national park is probably the least visited. It is located in the far north of North America on the island of Alzheimer’s, 80 degrees north, also known as Cape Columbia.
Due to the cold here, tourists have to keep their hands in their pockets. You have to come here from a nearby village by charter plane. There are no facilities like roads or trees in this park. But there are polar bears and beautiful mountains. It is also home to Canada’s northernmost village, Gers Fayward. You can go there too.
