Nature lovers should be sure to visit the Kalatop Wildlife Sanctuary to explore the region’s breathtaking forests and catch a glimpse of its diverse flora and fauna. The park features several trekking trails and is home to a rich variety of wildlife including birds, bears, and the adorable Himalayan Black Marten.
Zorbing and paragliding
Like Switzerland, Khajjiar is a fantastic destination for adrenaline junkies looking to partake in activities that’ll get your blood pumping. While skiing is popular in other parts of the Pradesh, zorbing and paragliding tend to be the activities of choice for travelers and locals alike in Khajjiar. We can’t think of a better way to take in the panoramic views of these beautiful surroundings than by rolling down hills in a giant transparent ball.
Khajji Nag Temple
If you’re afraid of snakes, you may want to skip this 12th-century shrine dedicated to the serpent god Naga, but for everyone else, the ornate temple is absolutely worth a visit. Pop in to admire the intricate architecture, then take a walk around the grounds and soak up the surrounding natural beauty.

]]>While some parks, like Yosemite and the Grand Canyon, are well known and often visited, others fly under the radar. Here are three of the least-visited national parks that you should spend some time visiting.
Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park (Colorado)
The Grand Canyon National Park might be the most famous river gorge in the system, but an overlooked one is the stunning Gunnison River gorge, which has been cut through Precambrian rock in the western part of the state of Colorado. It includes cliffs of up to 2,000 feet in height and provides unforgettable views of unique geography and fauna such as elk.
Congaree National Park (South Carolina)
The only national park located in the state of South Carolina is Congaree National Park, one of the newest in the US. Founded in 2003, this park is located in the center of the state and protects one of the oldest forests in the country, located on the banks of the beautiful Congaree River.
North Cascades National Park (Washington)
The fourth-least visited park in the country is North Cascades, which isn’t surprising due to its geographical isolation. Located near the Canadian border in the northernmost part of the Cascades, the snow-capped peaks and glacial lakes of this park form part of some of America’s most beautiful land.

]]>Here are four natural spots you must visit while in Djibouti.
Lake Abbe
This salt lake is located on Djibouti’s border with Ethiopia and is known for its fairytale rock formations, and the flamingos that can frequently be found flocking near its shores.
Goda Mountains
Djibouti’s most beautiful mountains are, without a doubt, the Goda range located in the interior of the country. It is considered Djibouti’s most heavily-vegetated area.
Maskali Islands
These desert islands are located in the Gulf of Tadjoura and contain arguably Djibouti’s best beaches. They’re hardly visited by tourists and remain a natural paradise.
Lake Assal
Considered the “Dead Sea of Africa,” Lake Assal is the lowest point in Africa and is a crater lake which sits inside of a dormant volcano. Visiting Lake Assal feels like going to another planet, and you’ll certainly never forget the experience.

(@rubensoltvedt)Kimchi is a great component to any camping meal, composed of fermented pickled cabbage often with a kick of spice and onion. For shorter camping trips, kimchi can be made prior to leaving your home, and as you are traveling you don’t have to worry about keeping the fermented cabbage and spices refrigerated.
Kimchi tastes amazing on a sausage, hot dog or veggie dog cooked over the fire. This is a great twist on a camping classic without having to bring a larger cooler. If you happen to be camping along a body of water, kimchi also tastes amazing on the side of a fire cooked trout or salmon.
If kimchi doesn’t sit right with your taste buds, a fabulous substitute is cowboy caviar. Like kimchi, this condiment can be canned in a mason jar and doesn’t need to be refrigerated for short periods of time. Cowboy caviar is composed of sweet corn, black beans, cilantro, onion, salt, vinegar and oil to taste. A perfect side dish or condiment for your fresh caught fire cooked meal!
