Hey r/travel! I just finished an 8-day trek up Mt. Kilimanjaro and really enjoyed it. I would love to do another trek next year (ideally with my partner, who was not interested in something as long and difficult as Kilimanjaro) and am looking for suggestions. For reference, we visited Torres del Paine NP in Chile a few years back and loved it. We also really enjoyed Jasper and Banff in Canada.
We're open to something more low key that we plan and do ourselves (e.g., backpacking or hut to hut), or joining a tour if it's something more logistically complex or requires more technical skills (e.g., Mont Blanc, Mt. Elbrus, etc.).
I know Machu Picchu and Everest Base Camp are popular int'l treks, but I feel like the former is too busy and the latter will require more PTO than I currently have to spare.
Here are the criteria I'm looking at:
Must Haves:
- Good scenery!
- 3 - 6 nights
- Relatively easy to access from a major airport or travel hub (e.g., within a few hours' drive)
- Permits that aren't crazy difficult to obtain in advance
- No advanced mountaineering skills necessary
- Decent and somewhat predictable weather if we go during the right season (our dates are flexible)
- Not super heavily trafficked (we don't expect solitude, but don't want to be walking with dozens of other people in a single file line every day)
Nice to Haves:
- International, so we can also visit a new country! We have lots of domestic backpacking trips planned, but we'd love to see more of the world as well.
- Good local food w/ vegetarian options
- The fewer mosquitoes the better :D
- Budget to mid-range pricing
Excited to hear any suggestions you may have!
Behind those beautiful mountains or farmlands, combined with great lighting, it wil not hide the fact that it is a limbo of nothingness.
Behind those beautiful faces of NPCs you cannot hide the fact that they are just an illusion to make the limbo "alive"
Just a random thought about open world games.
I hope you got my point.
Edit: "Single Player" Open World Games.
