However, instead of having a vacation that is the same as any other, you can choose to do something different, and look for adventure. Some of the most common adventures that people are going for these days include:

1. 1.      Disaster tourism

Here, a group of people or a family can decide to visit an area that had experienced a disaster and recovered from it, or is in the process of recovery. This kind of tourism can help people to relate to the plight of people living in those areas, and they can even help them in whatever way they can. The only problem would be to interfere with rescue operations.

1. 2.      Overland tourism

This form of tourism is a kind of an expedition, where a group of tourists can decide to travel to a particular place on foot or in busses, where these tourists cover a considerable distance that can even take weeks or months. Tourists can take the opportunity to visit Cancun, and since they are together in groups, they will not be afraid of the Cancun crime.

1. 3.      Ethno tourism

This is the kind of tourism is where people go to foreign lands and study how the indigenous dwellers go about their daily activities. Most of the people who go to the Amazon forest and other parts of the world where the locals have their own strict cultural boundaries and practices, and they do not interact with outsiders usually are in Ethno tourism.

1. 4.      Jungle tourism

As the name suggests, this is a form of tourism where individuals tour the jungles. This can be quite dangerous because of the wild animals that they can encounter, but if a group is in the hands of a competent guide, then he or she will guide them through the right places.

1. 5.      Ghetto tourism

Of course, this is all in the past, nearly everyone books hotels online where they can see pictures of the rooms and find information about the city they are visiting easily. While looking at individual hotel websites once seemed a joy, now, it too, is old.

Today’s traveler uses a database where multiple hotels are listed, searching for the lowest rate . This used to be the best way to search for a hotel until 5tripsmaker.com integrated multiple databases from popular hotel booking websites. Now consumers need to only search for a hotel on one website to find the lowest possible price.

Bookig a hotel room over the years has certainly changed, but for the better. Travelers make out much better today as they can be assured they are getting the lowest price. Hotels make out better too, not having to deal with constant phone calls. If the hotels provide as much information as possible online, they often have no contact with their guests until the guests arrive at the hotel. Everybody wins.

Between Plains and mountains, so arguably it has its geographic place Pakistan. This Asian country is the Union of several completely different systems, so we can find the desert area to the West, the mountainous north and the River Indus Basin which toured the country from North to South.

Pakistan and the Indus Valley

Located Northwest of the Indian subcontinent, Pakistan occupies a good part of the Valley of the Indus River, between the mountains Sulaimán and the undulations of the Indian State of Rajasthan.

The essential part of the territory of Pakistan consists of a basin subsidence, depression which is filled by thousands of metres of thickness of the sediments that are transported along the 3,180 kilometres in length which is the Indus and its tributaries.

In the North of the country where the mountains make Act of presence of majestic and impressive form in the landscape, these form an arc that consists of three very different morphological zones:

The Himalayan region.
The Transhimalaya region.
The edge of the Iranian plateau.

The set of high mountains that make up the region of the Transhimalaya, Pakistan belongs the massif of the Karakorum, 8,611 meters is the second highest peak on Earth after Mount Everest. The Himalayan region is separated from the Transhimalaya Upper Indus Valley.

Three morphological regions comprising entirely of Pakistan, is the edge of the Iranian plateau which presents a smaller height being crashed by mountainous folds with guidance from North to South.

South of the country is occupied by the low arid plains of Sind, which extends between the Kirthar mountains to the West, and the Thar desert to the Southeast.

Mountains of Pakistan
Pakistan can be considered as one of the highest in the world in terms of terrain, and is in its interior you can find more than 35 summits with more than 7,300 metres each.

It is in the North of the country where they emphasize the impressive reliefs of the Western Himalayas, whose two giants occupying Pakistani soil are Nanga Parbat with 8.126 meters of altitude and the Karakorum.

To the West, the mountains decrease considerably, specifically is in this area where the mountains Sulaimán constitute summits higher, just come to reach 3,300 meters above sea level, far from the spectacular figures Nanga Parbat and the Karakorum.
Climate of Pakistan

The climate of Pakistan is characterized by its aridity, and the low average annual precipitation is, different measurements have been able to demonstrate that its rainfall is almost always is less than 500 mm. In Karachi for example less than 200 mm of rain fall during the year.

Summer temperatures are high for mastery of continental high pressures which are characteristics of these regions of Asia. Maximum of up to 34 ° C can be registered in the city of Hyderabad on full arid plains of Sind.

In winter the temperatures are typical of a tropical and subtropical arid climate, generally being high in much of the country. However, it will be in higher areas, where the climatic conditions are most extreme and further change, and is that in winter the temperatures are very low and the snows cover many of the peaks.

More than 15,000 tourists arrive every year to this unique ‘people Zoo’ for photographing a group for ethnic Kayan women, known as ‘Female giraffe’ or Pandaung, Burmese name they hate.

Sitting with their huts they exhibit their long necks covered in bronze rings exposing to the curiosity of the visitors who captured images with their cameras.

The Kayan women, proud of their ethnic group and its culture, escaped in the 1990s for his native Burma when his people failed in an attempt to secede. They fled to Thailand and there settled with the consent of the authorities that allowed the refugee group a small commercial activity consisting in the sale of small crafts.

Very soon, the interest caused by the thick collars used to stretch their necks, attracted hundreds of tourists started to arrive from all parts of the world, which the tour operators took advantage and exploited as tourist attraction. An attraction that enslaved them for over twenty years.

And that the majority of women today, does not want to wear rings but they are forced to do so by Karen heads and Thais, forbidding them to leave.

The tour of the village is not free: men are responsible for charging the entrance and the benefits are distributed among the leaders of the tribe, tour-operators and the giraffe women barely perceive 40 euros of profit.

Given their status as refugees and with no land to cultivate for the tribe, this is their only source of revenue based, clear is in the unworthy condition of these women have no freedom to leave her.

This activity has been described as “demeaning” by several humanitarian organizations. The Office of the High Commissioner (UNHCR) works for years to try to move to the Kayan to other countries but the Thai Government puts serious obstacles. As this situation is not resolved, the UNHCR has appealed to tourists to stop them from visiting the villages in which the giraffe women are displayed as objects.

A point that moves between the need and human dignity. To think.
