Places You Need To Visit Before You're 30

After that, it gets tough.

While you’re young and energetic, don’t miss visiting some outstanding destinations worldwide that offer the very best of ‘outdoor adventures’ and excitement.

Coober Pedy

By any account, Coober Pedy is different from any other town in the world. In which other place in the world do 75 per cent of the locals actually live underground, simply because it’s ‘cool’? Summer temperatures hover near the 50 degrees Celcius mark.

The Australian Outback’s leading mining town and the opal capital of the world, it is also a unique and exciting tourist destination. The opal brings miners, traders and buyers, and the romance of all this brings in the tourists, who also get to enjoy a taste of genuine rural Australian lifestyles and stunning landscapes.

Apart from getting a taste of genuine Australian Outback life, visitors get a first-hand look at the unique style of underground living in old mines now converted into comfortable homes. There are several interesting places to drop in – such as the Underground Art Gallery, Dugout Motel, Dusty Radio Station or the Opal Cave Lookout with its splendid town views.

Visitors can also opt for interesting packages, like Martin’s Night Sky Presentation and Ghost Busters, a package that includes star-gazing out in the darkness of the Moon Plains Desert.

Les Diablerets

Situated between the beautiful pastures of Anzeindaz and the Vallee des Ormonts in Switzerland, the summit of Les Diablerets has always been considered a dangerous and damned area (damned since the day a meanhearted shepherd refused its help.) After that the pastures of the Tsanfleuron (flower field) changed and the once pretty flowery field became today’s icy desert on the glacier.
