Secluded Travel Spots
Crescent Lake is an oasis outside of Dunhuang in China. This refreshing resting point in the harsh Gobi Desert has served as a stepping stone in the ancient Silk Road trade network since the Qing Dynasty.
Masca is a hidden gem on beautiful Tenerife. The trail to this village on the monumental Macizo de Teno mountains is a 3 hour hike each way, meaning that very few people ever make the journey.
The Spiti Valley is high in the Himalaya mountains and because of its remoteness is one of the least populated regions in India. This cultural center of Buddhism is home to some of the oldest temples in the world.
Along the coast of Kapaa, Hawaii, are dozens of hidden beaches, masked by massive rock formations. These secluded spots are incredible to explore.
If you want to escape humanity in style, Sơn Đoòng, the largest cave in the world, is the place to do it. The biggest chamber of Sơn Đoòng is more than three miles long, 650 feet high and 500 feet wide, with stalagmites more than 200 feet tall.
Al Hajjarah is a village perched on a cliff in the remote Haraz Mountains of Yemen. Once a citadel, this beautiful town is now used as a base camp by the few trekkers who brave this harsh environment.
According to CNNGo, El Nido Palawan is the best beach and island destination in the Philippines. The extensive ecosystem is enthralling to explore.
Huacahina Oasis in Pisco, Peru, is known as the "oasis of America" because it is so beautiful that legend has it the lagoon was created when a beautiful native princess was surprised at her bath by a young hunter and fled, leaving the pool of water behind.
In the early 1900s, the Mexican government carried out bomb tests in Puerto Vallarta and transformed the landscape into stunning caves and hidden beaches. This hidden beach revealed by bombing is only accessible by swimming through a fifty foot tunnel.
Morro de São Paulo, Brazil, is so tranquil that the only way to get to the village is by boat or charter flight because no cars are allowed on the island. The village sits upon three beautiful jungle-topped hills at a point where the Canal de Taperoá meets a crystal blue Atlantic.
The colorful houses of Amêdî, Kurdistan, sit perched on top of a mammoth plateau at nearly 4,000 feet above sea level. The only places to stay are local inns and the residents pride themselves on resisting modern hotels.
Karimunjawa is an archipelago of 27 islands in the Java Sea, 50 miles from civilization. Only five of the islands are populated with a few small villages, many of the rest are designated nature parks. Exploring the islands by boat is an incredible experience.
St. Stepanos Monastery, 10 miles outside of Jolfa, Iran, can be found tucked away in a deep canyon along the Arax river. This Armenian monastery was built in the 9th century and is a hidden gem in a desolate area.
