Bhutan
Officially known as the Kingdom of Bhutan, this little visited country is on the Himalayas’ eastern edge and known for its dramatic landscapes that range from subtropics to towering cliffs with wild flowing rivers, crystal blue lakes, snow capped peaks and glaciers, and jungles. There are no traffic lights in this country which, so far, has managed to escape the claws of mass tourism and keep its culture.
Rock Islands, Palau
The 445 uninhabited limestone islands were formed from volcanic activity. The islands have a huge diversity of plants, birds, and wildlife, alongside more than a dozen shark species. The area contains the highest concentration of marine lakes anywhere in the world. The only sign of human habitation is from 3100 BC.
Fiordland, New Zealand
One of the most dramatically amazing regions of New Zealand, Fiordland can be seen on foot, by air, or by water. The Milford Track is one of the most famous walks, with the 33m-long four-day journey taking travelers past the lakes, the tallest waterfall in the country, and glacier-carved valley views. Lake Monowai is a glassy, mirrorlike body of water surrounded by mountains and best explored by raft on a quiet day.
