As the season of holidays arrives, all the folks choose their holiday destinations. People normally choose the most famous holiday spots around but here we have a list of some of the most unique destinations for your next vacation. Lets have a look.

Antarctica

The first unusual spot on our list is the Antarctica. But we suggest you to watch this Great White Continent only if you are a true lover of nature and cold. This is continent lies on the South Pole. Species like penguins and albatrosses are found here in abundance. Many explorers have been coming here and discovered a lot about the sea life and the facts related to the geography of the area. Scot Shackleton and Amundsen are the greatest explorers of Antarctica. Whales, seals, squid and fish are among the sea life here. spota

The Amazon

The Amazon is one of the world’s oldest and beautiful rainforest located on the banks of river Amazon. The area is famous for its richness in the species of turtles, as big as 60 kg and also very tiny ones.

spot2

This beautiful life form is highly endangered by the interference of the outer world. They are hunted down only to get their eggs,meat,oil and shell. Turtles chose beachside for nesting but alas that mostly their eggs are swift away in the floods resulting from hydroelectric dams and river navigation projects. But its a really interesting place to spend your holidays in the lap of the nature. But I would not suggest you swimming there because there are many dangerous creatures under water.

Siberia

Situated on the North Pole, our next spot is Siberia. It’s the city of reindeers’ and you might be lucky enough to meet our very own Santa Claus. There are many things that you may enjoy there like visiting the Polar museum in St.Petersburg,herds of reindeers in the village of Khatanga,tour to the Taymour Nature Reserve,you can also enjoy the barbecue in the beautiful surroundings of Kottuy river valley.

spot3

Papua New Guinea

Papua New Guinea,though a comparatively backward and undiscovered place but is really popular for its richness in arts and crafts exhibition. We do not advise a woman to go there on her own because the area has a lot of violence and crime associated to it. But If you are a shopaholic and an art lover then it’s a place for you. There are many local markets displaying traditional carvings and bead work,traditional baskets,paintings,beautifully woven serving trays and all this is available on really affordable prices. Besides you can also enjoy various festivals,diving,surfing,hiking, fishing and see amazing unique flora and fauna.

If you come for vacations here,a horse ride on the paths would be a delight. Gobi Desert can be visited on the camel carts. Its a natural place unspoiled by the outer world. The only activity in that area is the movements of nomadic herders. It’s a great outdoor to visit.
