Luang Prabang trekking - the great outdoor side of Laos' ancient city

    by Barry Northern Laos is famous for its natural beauty: rolling green hills and mountains interspersed with rice fields and countless water buffalo. From the moment we arrived in South East Asia, a trekking adventure through the countryside and staying with a local tribe family was top of our list of things to do. Once we arrived in Luang Prabang, we knew this was the place to do it.     read post

    Many visitors sign onto tour groups when trekking in Nepal, but apparently plenty do it on their own. Well, as of April for safety reasons that will be banned in the country's national parks - including the popular Annapurna Circuit and widening a previous prohibition on solo trekking/climbing on mountains within the national territory: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/08/world/asia/nepal-solo-trekking-b...

    In May 2021, my home country's Ministry of the Environment and the storied Italian Alpine Club announced an ambitious €35m, 13-year plan to extend Italy's existing Sentiero Italia (the Grand Italian Route) by roughly 1,000km to form a new path connecting each of its 25 national parks, including those on the islands of Sardinia and Sicily. When it's completed in 2033, the new route, known as the Sentiero dei Parchi (Path of the Parks) will cross each of Italy’s 20 regions, pass through six ÚNESCO World Heritage sites and stretch nearly 8,000km. A BBC Travel piece provided more details and context around that time: https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20210517-the-sentiero-dei-parchi...
