Camp Around
|
|
The adventure, fun and thrill of camping cannot be compared with any other experience. Camping is the best option when someone is willing to take a break from his or her busy life. Thus for those who are tired of their mundane lives, staying in a camp can be very enjoyable. It is something off beat and thus all the more interesting. If you are a photographer, then the camping destinations are the best place for capturing some amazing frames of nature. Here are some great sites for camping around the world.
Camping Simuni, Croatia
If you want a completely different and a novel experience of camping then this destination is where you should be. Camping beneath holm oak, laurel and oleander on Croatia's Adriatic Coast would be a refreshing Mediterranean experience. This place would at times make you ask yourself, “Am I in paradise?” The picturesque view of fabulous sunsets cannot be missed. If you love paintings then you will get your best one here.
Cnip Village Grazing Trust Campsite, Scotland
This campsite is a bit far away from the city and is rather distantly placed.

Magnificent Angkor Wat
|
Angkor in Cambodia is one of the two great complexes of ancient temples in Southeast Asia, the other being in at Bagan in Burma. With the name Angkor Wat we usually define the area where the ruins of these magnificent temples are but in actuality, the gateway is Siem Reap, the closest city to this exciting and ancient world. Harboured between rice paddies and stretched along the Siem Reap River, the small provincial capital of Siem Reap Town leads you to the millennium-old temple ruins of the Khmer Empire.
The facts, which almost all tourists know as a rule, are that Angkor is one of the most beautiful and enigmatic places on Earth, that Angkor Wat Temples extend beyond the Angkor Temple alone and that the Entire Archaeological wonder represents a four centuries process.
History - The temples of Angkor were built by the Khmer civilization between 802 and 1220 AD and are hailed unanimously as triumphs in architecture. From Angkor the Khmer kings ruled over a vast kingdom that reached from Vietnam to China to the Bay of Bengal.

Sri Lanka Travel - Part II
|
|
|
In the last article posted in the 'Travel' section of BM Times, we had begun our virtual tour of Sri Lanka with the focus firmly on the commercial capital – Colombo. But only a glimpse of Colombo in the name of Sri Lanka tourism is not only inadequate but it also leaves one wishing for more. The size of the island country is highly deceptive if one takes into consideration the range and variety of the attractions it offers. In fact, an entire volume may be dedicated on the subject of Sri Lanka holiday travel. In this second part of the article, we have tried to present information on a few other places in Sri Lanka that more or less capture various aspects of amazement. This is by no means all-inclusive and may be seen as only a sampling of the array of delights.
Kandy
Kandy, the last royal capital of Sri Lanka is a major tourist destination. Famous for the Temple of the Tooth and many other temples the city could be called the cultural capital of the island. A dress code applies for entering the temple. The magnificence has been enhanced by the octagonal pavilion.
