Norway's Atlantic Road: Seen as the most dangerous and beautiful road ever made.

The Atlantic Road, a 5.2-mile segment of County Road 64 in Norway, consists of several causeways, seven bridges, and four viewpoints to take in the ocean views. Known as Atlanterhavsveien in Norwegian, it is one of the most scenic routes in the world. 

The curvy road dips and arches over the brutal Norwegian Sea as it winds its way across an archipelago of tiny islands connecting the communes of Eide and Averoy. During construction, the road was subjected to 12 hurricanes. 

Driving along the Atlantic Road is like teetering on the edge of the sea. Waves crash over the pavement during storms. The road's rollar coaster feel, curvy bridges and phenomenal views have made it a favorite of road trippers and motorcyclists. It was also deemed a Cultural Heritage Site, and was awarded the title, "Norwegian Construction of the Century."

8 GOOD REASONS TO TRAVEL ALONE

Most of us would prefer to travel with friends or families. But little did we know that there are actually advantages that we can get when we decide to travel alone. Here are they:

1. Do not compromise. If you travel alone, you shouldn’t be torn between your personal desires and the partner’s wishes. Do you want, for example, to visit the best exhibitions? Or perhaps to sit in a pub all night long? It is really up to you to decide! Wake up and go for a short or even long walk when you indeed want to, go only to the objects that you are definitely interested in!

2. Yоu dоn’t need to wait for anyone. Of course, all of us have our life speed, one can get up rather early in the morning and it takes him or her 10 minutes to be ready, for others even 2 hours wоn’t be enough. Someone likes to come to the airport some time before, and someone dоesn’t want to waste time which could be used for visiting some museums. Traveling alone, you wоn’t have to wait as well as to be in a constant  hurry.

3. You can immerse yourself into the surrounding atmosphere. When yоu’re traveling with friends, usually you don’t notice half of the fun, because some of your attention is taken by conversation. Being alone, you are completely dissolved in the new location, so yоu’re able to hear and to see everything. Because of this, you’ll get more vivid memories of the places you have visited.

4. You can sort out all your thoughts. Sometimes you’re getting tired of the constant bustle, so all you need indeed is just to be alone and to think about your life. The week full of meditation, focusing on the environment, unfamiliar territory and beautiful views will refresh perception.

5. It will be еasier to meet some new people. Staying at a hotel or hostel, sitting in a cafe with a cup of white coffee or green tea or going for a pleasant walk in the park, you will definitely be surrounded by plenty of people. And if yоu’re traveling alone, you’ll be more open to them.

6.  Traveling alone allows you to live spontaneously. The bus schedule was changed? The flight was canceled? The reservation was lost? Reаlly it isn’t a problem! Remember that the most vivid impressions are usually got in the moments when something goes a bit wrong. So dоn’t worry!

7.  You will become braver and more independent. Traveling in the company, you can always count on each other. Traveling alone, only you’re responsible yourselves for everything. You will learn how to plan properly and be responsible for your action consequences. And yоu’ll have to look for a solution on your own.

8. Yоu’ll learn what you can do. During a solo trip you will open the hidden features of your character. You’ll gain invaluable experience, meet some new people and believe in yourselves. And whеn you come back, you will realize what a great way you have done.

Introducing Pakistan: Unlikely place to visit but surely the most surprisingly beautiful

Pakistan has been on the brink of being tourism's ‘next big thing’ for more years than we care to remember. It’s a destination that has so much to offer visitors; drive the Karakoram Highway through the endless peaks of the Karakoram Mountains, or wander through the architectural glories of the former Mughal capital Lahore, the ancient bazaars of Quetta or the cosmopolitan streets of Karachi. But every time the country seems to be gearing up to refresh the palates of travellers jaded with last year’s hip destination, world media headlines send things off the rails – again. No matter the attractions, tourism in Pakistan has always been something of a hard sell. A glance at the map shows the country living in a pretty difficult region: always-unruly Afghanistan to one side, Iran to another, and a border with India running through the 60-year-old fault line of Kashmir. But since the events of 9/11, Western pundits have increasingly been wondering if Pakistan isn’t just living in a tough neighbourhood, it is the tough neighbourhood.

Pakistan and political stability have never been particularly happy bedfellows. President Pervez Musharraf, who seized power in a 1999 coup, looked to have an unassailable position until relatively recently. Selling himself as a bulwark against radical Islamism on one hand and the old corrupt elites on the other, he turned himself into a key player in Washington’s ‘War on Terror’ and was rewarded with soft loans and military aid. In 2007, everything was thrown into disorder. An attempt to sack the country’s chief justice resulted in a red-faced retreat in the face of middle- class protests. At the same time, domestic Islamists stepped up their bloody campaigns in the wake of the deadly storming of Islamabad’s Red Mosque. Pakistan’s army had already found itself fighting to a standstill in the lawless Tribal Areas along the Afghan border, and later quelling related violence in the Swat Valley. It signed the short-lived Waziristan Compact that negotiated a peace – of sorts – with Pakistani Taliban, but ultimately showed that having once given official government sanction to such radicals, it was now holding a tiger by its tail.

It was anyone’s guess how Musharraf’s attempts to pull things together would play. The imposition of a state of emergency curtailed the press and judiciary, and soon after being lifted, the country was rocked by the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, recently returned from exile to take her place again in Pakistani politics. Such a high profile murder presaged a potentially very troubled future for Pakistan. But against this background, there is another Pakistan, a world away from the headlines. Although conservative, Pakistanis are by nature a welcoming and hospitable people to foreigners, trying to get by in the face of indifference from their government and occasional hostility from the outside world. High politics is of less interest than jobs and the cost of cooking oil and flour. As such, travellers are usually met with genuine interest and enthusiasm. The scams and hustle you might experience in heavily travelled India are nowhere to be seen here. Instead, look forward to spontaneously offered cups of tea and conversations about cricket. You’ll feel like you have the country to yourself. Attractions that would have been splashed over the glossy pages of newspaper travel supplements are almost empty. While enthusiastic travel advice comes tinged with official government travel advisories, you’ll need to keep one eye on the news before booking your ticket – but once here, you’ll realise that Pakistan really is one of the world’s best-kept travel secrets.

Our travel to Azad Kashmir: An unexpectedly beautiful place

The last leg of our travels to Southeast Asian Countries were to cross borders from India to Pakistan. We went to Wagha (a border town) between Pakistan and India. It is the only crossing point between the two countries. As usual, there were a lot of people there offering you their services on the streets. However we have already secured our Pakistan Tourist Visas long before this trip (you need to apply Pakistan tourist visa from your home country) so all that we really needed was to take on some border formalities that could take upto 30minutes for each. If you're planning on actually crossing the border, you should aim to get there as early as possible. It opens around 8:30am to 2:30pm.. and it gets crowded. Regular buses or taxis are not allowed into the no-man's land between the countries, so unless you're on one of the few deluxe international buses, you'll have to walk across the 500m between the border posts yourself. Porters -- blue coats for the Indians, green coats for the Pakistanis -- can carry your belongings for a few dollars.

When crossed the gate between the two countries and in the Pakistani side you can relax at nearby attractive Jallo Park, or enjoy in Sozo Water Park. For those who get there early with hunger theres a great restaurant about 1km before the border called "Sarhad". They serve Amritsari and Lahori food with some great truck art as decoration and the bathrooms are clean! Lot of people go there just to get a feel of the ambience and food

There is an official tourist center, called "Aman Umeed" at the entry gate. It is a nice clean facility with bathrooms etc and has comfortable seating, although food options are very limited inside.

However, there are 2-3 large local food stalls outside the gate opposite the tourist center which serve food, offer packaged snacks and soft drinks. You can take these inside when you watch the ceremony. Water Bottles are not allowed after the checking point of entry to Wagah border. So don't carry them from the car/autos. If necessary, buy them at the stalls just near the gate.

*Note that cellphones may not work here, as calls/SMSs are jammed. There are jammers at wagah, so no mobile phone service

Once we got settled on the Pakistan side. Our guide held a car service to take us to Azad Kashmir. My friend swears that it is a must see side of Pakistan. We traveled around 9 straight hours from the borders, to Lahore and to Kashmir. We had some occasional stop overs to take a pee or to eat.. but nevertheless I was just sleeping the whole time. Many have warned me before this trip but I didn't really felt any danger or whatsoever. As long as your documents are complete. You have a guide or a company that you can trust. Your okay. 

So when we finally arrived at the Kashmir it was already night time.. Was freezing cold. We went to eat at our host house and went to sleep. The morning after was a very nice surprise. I can't believe my eyes. No wonder this place is in dispute between India and Pakistan... it is the most beautiful place I've ever been or seen all my life. Pictures on the internet does not even justify the HD resolution my eyes can see. Here are the pictures of Neelum Valley.. where we are staying... 

and here is one picture from the remains of Budha University in Sharda, Azad Kashmir..

Snow-caped mountains... clean breathable air.. and just the serene beauty of this place will captivate you. From this point, I don't even know if I am still willing to go back to my world.
