Nepal is known for the many mountains and diverse wildlife it has to offer and it is a great place for a summer getaway. You can travel to the garden of dreams and the Himalayas and it can be the ideal place to get lost. Visit some Hindu temples, travel to islands and enjoy a yoga retreat while you are there for the ultimate experience.

In Bangkok you can enjoy the buzz of a thriving city. You can travel to temples and natural wonders to take in the landscape and enjoy some peace and quiet. And you can also take a boat to one of the many islands which make up this wonderful country and as a result you will be able to enjoy some of the best and most unspoilt natural landscapes you have ever seen.
Mexico
For many of use, the only experience we have of Mexico is the amazing spicy foods which we can enjoy once a week or at a dinner party. Mexico is actually a pretty affordable place for us to visit, and for a backpacker it can be a dream. You can visit one of the many hostels or hotels in the country and you will be able to enjoy a country full of culture, vibrancy and character. If you go during the summer you may be able to take part in festivals and you’ll be welcomed by all who live there.
Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is one of the cheapest places to go if you are a backpacker this year and it is a great choice for all travellers. This country has some lush greenlands and striking mountains, and it is a great place to come for a tour or a bike ride. Because of the sheer number of backpackers that visit this country, Sri Lanka has many backpacker packages aimed at youth which will give them a guided tour of the country over a number of weeks. Joining a group like this can be a good way to make some new friends for life.
Indonesia
If you have always wanted to visit a country which you could get lost in, Indonesia is the one for you. This country is one of the biggest in the world by square metres and it is made up of 17,508 islands, this is a country which you could explore for a year and never scratch the surface of. The home of some of the most unique wildlife and landscapes in the world, this is the perfect place for someone to visit if they want to escape from the real world for a while and find themselves. Within the country are tourist destinations such as Singapore which is a bustling city, and Bali which is a haven for all. You can even visit the many coffee and tea plantations in the country including Java, which is one of the main homes of coffee in the world.
Croatia
Love Game Of Thrones? You can visit King’s Landing in real life if you take a trip to Croatia. Dubrovnik is the home of the capital of Westeros and you will be able to visit many familiar filming spots from the show during your stay. When it comes to European travel, Croatia is often overlooked and this can be a real shame, but on the plus side it means that this is a more affordable location than places such as Spain and Italy. For an experience which is fun and diverse, you can really benefit from a visit here this year.
Morocco
If you are looking for sunshine and you are on a tight budget, Morocco is a wonderful place to visit this year. Morocco is home to some stunning places, sandy beaches and also amazing markets and history. You can also enjoy some of the best surfing spots in the world on the bay!
