There is no better way to welcome 2019 than by visiting different, unfamiliar places and be lost with the wonders of its cultures, be in love with the camaraderie of its locals, be in awe of the amazing and picturesque beauty of its nature and be satisfied with its local delicacies.
So what are the countries that are best to visit that will give you a new and fresh vibe this upcoming year?
BHUTAN
Known as the country that aims to share happiness with the world, Bhutan is a must to visit to start your new life this year. With about 60 percent of the country still under forest cover, according to Rediff, nature lovers will surely have the best glimpse of what our Mother Earth has to offer.
One of the things you should never miss once you visit this small but wonderful place is their national sport, archery.
Almost every one of its residents loves engaging in this sport. They are so in love with the game that every village in Bhutan has its field for people to play their favorite game. If you want to watch one of the biggest events of this sport first hand, you may want to visit the official Bhutanese Archery website for more information.
Another thing you should do in Bhutan is to visit its most popular tourist destination, Taktsang Lhakhang. Located at a cliff about 900 meters above Paro Valley, this tourist spot has been well-known as it reveals an astounding view, which has already been featured in different brochures websites and books around the country.
INDIA
Considered as one of the best tourist destinations of the world, India's beautiful culture and history are what attracts people from all around the globe to it.
The most popular spot in India is Taj Mahal. Created out of love and pain, Taj Mahal is indeed more than just an incredible architecture.
Created in 17th Century by the Mogul Emperor Shah Jahan, this landmark was built in honor of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, who died while giving birth to their child. The famous mausoleum has been made perfect in every detail that the UNESCO World Heritage Site considered it as one of the Wonders of the World.
If these two tourists' spots are still not enough to complete your tour, then you might want to consider other places for your itinerary. Other places you may want to visit this year are the beautiful and colorful reefs of Australia's Lizard Island, the beach and hippy life in Playa del Carmen in Mexico, and the amazing mountainous views of South Africa's Cape Town.
