 Whether you are looking for desert dunes, rocky peaks, green hills and mountains, or stunning beach views, there’s no better way to experience the most beautiful landscapes on earth than by hiking through them.
There are great hiking trails in nearly every country on the planet and walking through the wilderness can be an entirely different experience than touring through the cities and visiting all the popular tourist sites. When you hike, you get to see the natural beauty of the countries you are in, rather than the man-made.
Hikers that enjoy beautiful beach views will enjoy the Kalalua Trail in Kauai, Hawaii and the Torres del Paine Circuit in Chile. Both of these coastal hiking trails boast beautiful blue waters and beautiful mountain views. In Kauai, you will likely spot wildlife as well, with dolphins, sea turtles and humpback whales swimming off the coast.
If you are looking for a totally unique hiking experience, then head to the Tongariro Northern Circuit on North Island in New Zealand. This hiking trail heads 35 kilometers through some of the most beautiful scenery on earth. The volcanic and desert landscape is like no other, and will give many hikers the feeling that they are exploring another planet entirely. Along the trail are alpine huts for hikers to stay overnight.
Serious hikers can take a three-week trek through the snowcapped peaks and sub-tropical landscapes of Nepal on the Annapurna Circuit. During this three-week hike you will climb some of the highest mountains in the world. Comfortable lodges are available for hikers to stay during the nights.
The Inca Trail in Peru is one of the most famous hiking sites in the world, and it’s no surprise. With some of the most beautiful scenery in South America, including Machu Picchu, you won’t want to forget your camera for this one! Hike through the mountains and jungle, visit Inca ruins and be stunned by the sheer beauty of the Peruvian mountains.
These and other hikes, such as Mount Kiliminjaro in Tanzania, the Tiger Leaping Gorge in China and Zion Narrows in Utah account for some of the best hiking in the world. So lace up your hiking boots and get ready to hike around the world!
