Borneo is the largest island in the world and is administered by three powers namely Malaysia, Indonesia and sultanate of Brunei. The island is mainly mountainous with large rainforests which make this place diverse with flora and fauna. Well, if you are a foster traveller and travelling is your passion then this is a land of wild exploration, so wild that it going on a holiday doesn’t seem to fit in the place, you would rather mention going on an expedition. Much of the landscape in the island is a jungle, and you will witness orangutans swinging throughout the rainforest.

Mt Kinabalu, Borneo’s biological treasure trove

Situated at 4095 m above the sea level Mt Kinabalu accounts for one of the world’s most prominent peaks and one of the most popular for climbers to trek. After Hawaii and New Guinea, Borneo is the third highest island which makes it as a responsible tourist destination. The variations of the soil and diverse climatic zones in this region provision the richest habitat for plants and animals anywhere on the earth. Walking through the rainforests of such a diverse rainforest makes it an exciting physical challenge as well as a privileged journey for wild explorers out there.

Mists swirl into the cloud

While on a trek to Mt Kinabalu and the rainforests there you will catch glimpses of miniature trees which will be thickly swathed with lichens, liverworts and mosses. People who have been there saying it is a whole gnarled fairly land and while on trek you will be walking into mists swirling clouds. The flowers endemic to the mountains are of different colours such as white, red, pink and yellow which will add to the scenic beauty of the place. You can arrive before sunrise to catch the summit point by taking a night’s rest in the Laban Rata refuge place for travellers.

Trekking through Borneo’s rainforests

Well, the equatorial rainforests and the little national parks of Borneo makes your day journey perfect but believe me nothing could beat the experience of the overnight trek in these incredible jungles. The area is rich in flora and fauna, and you would set eyes on the world full of orangutans, large Rafflesia flowers and carnivorous pitcher plants. Your journey in such a diverse rainforest could be a sodden misery if you do not have the right equipment with you. It is because the Borneo has different climatic zones and conditions change throughout the trek.

Wanderlust tips and recommendations

Your travelling experience to Borneo will become an extraordinary one if you don’t miss out idyllic beaches, scenic mountains and rich culture of this place. You must visit historical temples and the harbour side market in Sandakan region. Moreover, trek towards Lankayan for a truly unique sight of Green turtles laying eggs. Further, while trekking in Kalimantan catches the beauty of lush rain forests while walking among orangutans. Don’t forget to explore the caves of Sarawak region by a longboat native of that place.

Iceland throughout the summer months could be a stark contrast to what it’s like throughout the winter. The complete country involves life throughout the summer months (June – August) as several of the foremost standard attractions open their doors to the general public. Due to its geographic position to the Arctic Circle, daylight last for pretty much the complete day, solely striking twilight around 1am to 3am once the sun is that the closest to the horizon. The long hours of the day could also be onerous to adjust to if you were a permanent resident, except for a vacation expertise, it adds to the fulfillment of every day. In addition, several of the airlines close their flights to Iceland throughout the winter months, making it far more accessible during the summer months.

Iceland is a country with very few inhabitants compared to other European countries, which leads to a tranquil experience of the countryside and sights. The Icelandic people are a warm, helpful people despite their sometimes rough first impression. The majestic land is home to active volcanoes (which give warmth to the Blue Lagoon pools) and you can take an airplane or helicopter trip to see them from the sky. The roads are open during summertime making many of the natural attractions accessible by car or other land vehicles.

Stockholm is a world class city that has caught the attention of all those travelling to Northern Europe. While in the city there is much to do, so this blog will try to point you in the right directions as to how you can spend your time in Stockholm. Certainly a walking city, visitors do well to wander around enjoying themselves and soaking in the great architecture and the interesting personal style of the Scandinavians. Stockholm also has great museums and world class attractions to visit. A few more things to do in Stockholm include.

Vasa Museum

Galarvarvsvagen 14 | Stockholm

The tale of massive warship Vasa is both a story of the achievements of man and man’s limitations. Built in 1628 the massive war ship was the pride of Stockholm. Of course that pride dissipated quickly as the Vasa did not even travel one mile out of Stockholm’s harbour before capsizing in front of thousands of onlookers. Since 1990 the retrieved wreckage of the Vasa has been made into a museum of both the boat itself and sea faring in of itself. Visitors to the Vasa museum are always awe inspired by the sheer size of this cannon laden hulk of a ship. Admission for an adult costs around $18 dollars – anyone under 18 is admitted free.  The museum is open from 8:30 am to 6 pm.

Nationalmuseum

Södra Blasieholmshamnen | Stockholm

Built in 1792 the Nationalmusuem showcases a variety of great Swedish works as well as the works of international masters such as Cézanne, Degas, and Rembrandt. Housed in a remarkable old Swedish building many visitors feel that the building itself is a piece of art. Though the Swedish section is highly lauded many feel that the international section is not up to the high standards of other major European museums as many of the pieces are lesser works from great artists. The museum is open from 11 am to 5 pm daily – except Monday – and costs around $14 US dollars for adults while anyone under 18 gets in for free.
