20. Georgia

If you read some tourist literature you’ll find out that the lands of Abkhazia and South Ossetia can fascinate you with their gorgeous views. This part of the world will represent you the absolute splendor of mountains covered with snow, wildlife and green valleys. Today tourists from other countries are warned against travelling to these areas. Terrorism and military operations are thought to be a great threat in these regions. According to the recent warnings, it’s not advisable to make trips to Georgia this year.

Certainly, the number of dangerous places for holiday trips is growing rapidly nowadays. Every year some new countries appear to be undesirable for tourism. Still there are definite hazardous places which are known for everyone. That’s why when you make plans for you next vacation make sure to find all the necessary information concerning the safety of your destination. Control the government’s travel site in order to pick up any warnings. You should try your best to arrange pleasant and secure journey for yourself. Perhaps you have got some interesting ideas for the places to visit but you can’t decide exactly. You are welcome to share your thoughts.

19. Nigeria
[color=#990000][/color]
It is obvious that we should avoid visiting the countries which are declared to be in a State of Emergency. If you venture to come to any of such places you’ll expose your life to a great danger. On May 14 2013, the government of Nigeria declared states of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa. Military actions constantly take place in these three states. Even curfews were proclaimed here. All the people living in this country and those who come on vacation are subjected to a great risk of terrorist actions and military operations with Mali can start any moment. So you can see it’s not reasonable to plan your trip to any of the 3 states in Nigeria. The governments of the USA and the UK strongly recommend their citizens to keep distance from this country.

18. Danakil Desert, Eritrea

Some time ago you could watch the program about the Danakil Depression which was broadcasted by National Geographic. It was mentioned that this place is one of the most violent on our planet. This place is located within the extremely hot dessert. You will be amazed with the great number of volcanoes which can be seen here. The riskiness of your visit to this country is not just about the heat of the desert. There is something more hazardous for you. The place is situated in the border lands of Ethiopia and Eritrea. Number of cruel military actions can be observed between these two countries. The governments of the US and UK try hard to prevent their citizens from travelling to Eritrea. The only place which is quite safe for your life in this country is its capital Asmara. But if you have a desire to go outside it, you will need a special permission.

17. Guatemala

Guatemala has a rather developed tourist infrastructure. When you come here, you are supposed to visit the most picturesque cities like Panachajel and Antigua. This country is viewed as incredibly dangerous place for women to travel. You will be astonished with the rate of crimes in the state. The greatest stress is put on the crimes against women and those dealing with drugs. The polls and researches which have been recently conducted show the increase of sexual assaults and rapes in Guatemala. But the most terrible thing is that all those cases are not prosecuted by law.

16. Central African Republic

There is a great concern of the US government about travelling to the Central African Republic. The citizens are warned against visiting this part of Africa. In addition, this year the UK has recommended all the British people who were on vacation in this country to leave it instantly. One more disadvantage of travelling to CAR is the absence of the US and UK embassies. That’s why you should obviously delete this country from the list of places worth visiting next year.

15. Ilha De Queimada Grande

This is a mysterious island near Brazil. It has got unofficial name “Snake Island”. You can see an enormous amount of snakes at this place. They are everywhere. Just in one square meter you will walk into 1-5 snakes. What is the most terrible about this island? All the snakes living here are venomous. Only one bite and a person will be killed. Besides to come to this place you will have to prepare a lot of documents.

14. Myanmar (Burma)

Have you ever heard about such country as Myanmar? This is a glorious place on our planet. Tourism is being developed in this country and government’s support in this field is evident. But to our disappointment there are some substantial problems inside the country. For example, its military forces are known to be extremely cruel and hostile towards the foreigners. Moreover, health care system in this country is inappropriate. And if you want to buy some souvenirs here you won’t be able to take anything to the USA, as the import of gifts from Burma is banned. You will be greatly surprised to discover that there are no credit cards and ATM cards in Myanmar, only cash is available here. Nowadays this country tends to become less dangerous for tourists. The governments of the USA and UK don’t express a big worry about the safety of travelers in this country.

13. Caracas, Venezuela

Without a doubt Venezuela is very popular among tourists. Here you will have a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the perfect views. However, this country is in the top list of the most dangerous destinations for tourists. Crimes and murders in particularly occur very often in Venezuela. To follow the statistics I should say that during 2012 21,692 homicides were committed. The rate of homicides in the capital is 122 per 100,000. The citizens of the USA are warned about the threats and consequences of their visits to Venezuela by the government of the state.

12. Antarctica

I think you can’t find more fantastic and gorgeous place in this world than Antarctica. When you come here your breath will be taken away as the sceneries are brilliant in this part of the world. The main disadvantage of going to Antarctica on vacation is its incredibly low temperatures which can go down to 60 degrees Celsius. If you are a great fan of extreme activities and adventurous trips you can definitely visit this amazing place. The tours are provided throughout the Antarctic summer.

11. Syria

We can admire the fascinating views of Syria for hours. All the tourists tend to see endless deserts while travelling around the country. But there are some reasons which should stop you from visiting Syria. It is known as the hot point of terrorism. The ensuing consequences of this terrible situation are the following: murders, car bombings and attacks on the Embassy of the USA. But those are not the only troubles in the country. Chemical weapons are being used and lots of people have to escape their motherland. If still you are not afraid of all these risks that are waiting for you in Syria you can surely make a trip but don’t forget to be careful.

10. North Korea

North Korea is among the countries which are not recommended for tourist trips. The country itself is really magnificent. Its beautiful landscapes will certainly impress you. The hotel service of North Korea can meet the needs of the pickiest travelers. Still there is a list of troubles which will make your vacation inconvenient and even dangerous. If you come to this place, you’ll be precisely watched and examined in order to check out your political and religious activity. You will not find any U.S embassy in this country. That’s why consider all pros and cons before planning your trip.

9. Somalia

Another hazardous place which should be avoided by tourists is Somalia. You might have seen different news and the latest film with Tom Hanks, in which all the disadvantages of travelling to this country are deeply revealed. The Somalian coasts are extremely dangerous because of piracy which is the greatest problem here. That’s why you should think carefully before coming to Somalia as the US and UK embassies are not found in the country. In case of any problem you won’t get any assistance. Besides, food shortages and numerous attacks spoil people’s life at this place.

8. Detroit, USA

Perhaps, it’s a great surprise for you but Detroit is one of the dangerous places to go on a vacation. It has been heading the list of the most dangerous US cities for 5 years. Crimes are widespread here. However, if you are eager to visit this Motor City in spite of all the threats, just be careful and make sure you enjoy all of the city’s amazing attractions.

7. Mali

Perhaps Mali is not so much dangerous place for tourists but we should keep in mind that this country can be quite risky to spend our vacation here. Mali is an African country which attracts people from around the world. It is famous for its numerous sights and events. For instance, Great Mosque of Djenne is worth visiting. The Festival au Desert enjoys the great popularity. It represents music from different countries. In spite of all these opportunities Mali is not advisable for travelling. Frequent military conflicts in the country may threaten to your life. There has recently been a large attack and, as a result, some ancient heritage in Timbuktu was ruined.

6. India

I have never thought before that India could take one of the leading places among the most dangerous countries in the world. But such is the reality. Especially the country is threatening for women who come here. Nowadays we can observe the increase of women violence in India. Some rape cases that are highlighted in the media can state as a good proof of women’s unsafety in this country. It doesn’t mean that the cases of violence occur constantly but still it is the most alarming issue for the locals and foreigners coming to India. This problem caused the reduction of Indian tourism in 2013.

5. Egypt

Last year we heard enough news about the uneasy internal situation in Egypt. There are many reasons due to which we can consider this country as one of the most dangerous in the world. Definitely, the capital of Egypt is incredibly insecure place for tourism. But not only the capital is subjected to great risk, such popular attraction as the Pyramids is also undesirable for visit. In November 2013 the Government of the USA issued a special travel warning in which Egypt is mentioned as the country which is not recommended for vacation.

Politics / Re: 20 World’s Most Dangerous Vacation Destinations by Jerryjat(m): 6:08pm On Jul 26, 2014
4. Iraq

I can easily say that Iraq should be put into the list of the places that are really unsafe for tourists. In order to provide more security for people who come to their country, authorities work hard executing some great projects. It is believed that places such as the Southern Marshland, which lies between the Tigris and Euphrates, will attract tourists from all over the world. Another place, the Arch of Clesiphon, will be reconstructed in the nearest future. It is renowned as the largest man-made brick arch in the world. Certainly, the US and UK try to prevent their citizens from going to this country. Nevertheless some special escorted tours are available for those who have a strong desire.

3. Honduras

We often think about revolutions and wars when somebody is speaking about dangerous countries. But usually such thought is not right. Honduras is a magnificent country with charming nature but still it remains one of the most hazardous places to go on vacation. This country strikes its visitors with the rate of crimes and health problems. Some of the diseases, such as malaria is widespread here. If we compare Honduras with any other country in the world, we’ll be shocked with the great number of murders which happen regularly.

2. Mount Everest

I’m sure there are so many people who dream of climbing Everest at least once in their lifetime. All the attempts made by fearless people were not successful. Only in 1953, Sherpa Tensing Norgayall and Edmund Hillary from New Zealand triumphed over the highest peak of the mountain. After that time, lots of expeditors mounted Everest at a high risk for their lives. Sadly, some of the attempts turned out to be fatalities.

1. Afghanistan

It is necessary to mention that Afghanistan is strikingly fabulous country. Unfortunately, we can’t easily admire its gorgeous sights at the moment. As far as I remember myself this country was out of reach for the tourists. Some years ago it suffered from the Russian invasion and nowadays the Taliban interfere strongly with the life in Afghanistan. Today we can observe such problems as insurgent activities and kidnapping. They can be really dangerous for those who intend to spend holiday in this country. If you can’t resist your eagerness to visit marvelous places in Afghanistan some special tours are available for you. There are such amazing attractions as the Wakhan Corridor, the Bamiyan Valley and Kunduz.

10. Iguazu National Park, Argentina and Brazil

The Iguazu National Park runs through Argentina and into Brazil. It protects the subtropical rainforest here, as well as the Iguazu Falls. The falls are actually made up of hundreds of waterfalls around a curved cliff. Visitors to the falls can take a boat to get a closer look or can walk through the various waterfalls by crossing catwalks. The park is home to a wide range of wildlife, including howler monkeys, jaguars, tapirs, and caimans.

Around the world, countries are preserving their most fascinating and historical areas. National parks protect the natural beauty and keep it accessible for future generations. While all parks have something lovely about them, the places on this list are some of the more amazing ones out there. Have you ever visited any of these breathtakingly beautiful parks? Do you know any other park to add to this list?

9. Sagarmatha National Park, Nepal

Nepal has a unique, wild look to it and Sagarmatha is no exception. The park contains a number of Sherpa villages, as well as a few monasteries. Here you will find Mount Everest, as well as its sister mountains, so the national park sees quite a bit of traffic. Several animals make their home here, including mountain goats that balance precariously along seemingly sheer rock cliffs.
