It's time to make New Year resolutions for traveling! Backpacker bible Lonely Planet has published its annual list of best value destinations in 2017 for people looking for wallet-friendly sightseeing experiences. Take a look.
1. Nepal
Nepal remains a fabulous choice for
budget-conscious travelers, whether it's the country's world-famous
trekking routes or the wildlife in the southern region. Travel costs per
day are as low as $50 on average.
The best time to visit is between May
and January in 2017. Be a part of an amazing experience, visiting
architecturally and culturally rich heritage sites in Kathmandu Valley,
the country's political and cultural hub, and Royal Chitwan National
Park in the south, the habitat of rare animals like the one-horned rhino
and Bengal tiger.
2. Namibia
The Southwestern African country owns over 20 national parks and has the world's oldest deserts.
For a few years, Namibia's dollar has
been depreciating against many currencies, providing affordable
opportunities for travel. For the best-priced flights, avoid South
African and European school-holiday times, especially late December and
January.
3. Venice, Italy
Venice has long been hailed as one of
the most romantic cities in the world, a must-visit lagoon city on many
people's travel lists.
Founded in the 5th century and covering
118 small islands, the Northeast Italian city is famed for its water
views, architecture and artwork.
4. Belize
The most famous tourist attractions in
Belize include the Great Blue Hole, a giant submarine sinkhole and a
diving hotspot, and the Mayan ruins.
Belize's proximity to Mexico and the
Caribbean ensures a decadent street-food scene, providing an abundance
of budget meal options.
5. Russia
With the Russian rouble depreciating
against other major currencies, there has been an increase in visitors
to this country in recent years.
There are a wide range of low-cost
flights to Russia and transportation in the country is also easy with
the Trans-Siberian Railway. Given that travel costs to Russia may surge
in 2018 when the FIFA World Cup will take place there, visiting this
year would be a smarter choice.
6. Michigan's Upper Peninsula, the US
Far away from the hustle and bustle of
mega cities, Michigan's Upper Peninsula is an area full of stunning
natural beauty and landscapes.
The region boasts hundreds of miles of
beaches and lakeshore, some of the country's oldest forests and
waterfalls. Best of all, it offers reasonable travel costs and sees far
fewer travelers than big cities.
7. Bellarine Peninsula, Australia
The Bellarine Peninsula, located
Southwest of Melbourne, Victoria, has been a hotspot for timeless
beaches and historic towns like Queenscliff and Portarlington.
