I used to believe that the best time for vacations is the summer or mid winter. But now that we cross the autumn, Ι realized how different nature becomes to welcome the winter. The leaves fall and become soil layer, the atmosphere is not stuffy anymore and extreme weather events yet to come. However, this season does not "fit" everywhere. Below you will find a few autumn paradises that you will undoubtedly enjoy visiting this year.
Kamikochi , Japan.
Although Japan is a Hi-tech country , there are many extraordinary natural landscapes that really inspire you. One of them is Kamikochi ; known for the formal gardens but also the guests can do climbing or walk in nature. The appropriate time for someone to go is the end of the autumn because blue skies replace typhoons and humid heat is replace by the warm sun. On 22 of October takes place one of the most colourful festival in Kyoto : the Jidai Matsuri.
Cairngorms national park, Scotland
What can we say about Scotland and the nation park of Cairngorms? A beautiful place with tradition to the food, to the beers and to the malt whiskies. Fans of adventure will have the opportunity to do gorge walking, canoeing on Loch An Eilein or trecking into the hinterland. Those who want to relax, just admire the view over the Cairngorms from Braeriach.
Madagascar
It is an eco-paradise. Full of rare species of animals and plants provide visitors and nature lovers a unique and unforgettable experience. Autumn is baby lemurs' season. The weather is perfect and birdwatching is one of the most amazing things to do there! The crystal sea water and the gold sand allow us to enjoy for a while the cozy beach habits.
Nepal
It is worth visiting Nepal in autumn cause weather is dry and clear. What to do there? Trecking and white water rafting are two popular sports in the South Asian country and attract many visitors every year. In the north there are the eighth of the world's ten tallest mountains; Everest or Sagarmatha is the highest point worldwide. Actually, climbers prefer trecking to Everest because they find it technically easy. The Hindu festival : Dasain and Tihaar is also very interesting.
P.S. Nepal experiences five seasons: summer, monsoon, autumn, winter and spring.
Crete, Sitia
Crete is a huge and extremely beautiful island of Greece. It is known for the wonderful beaches and the picturesque villages. However, Sitia is a more attractive option for Fall. Situated in the wild east provides alternative landscapes and -for history lovers- many archaeological sites with free entry. Friends of alcohol should attempt the raki festival and try to drink with the locals. Decorate your nights with the Cretan music and the sound of the magic lyra will shake your body.
Bishop Creek Canyon, California, USA
Can you imagine yourself surrounded by yellow and red leafs falling? The well rated destination of California is the place where autumn colors make an early start . The Sierra Nevada exhibits a lot of green, yellow and even gold. From the first days of September until last days of November thing change completely. Furthermore, lake Sabrina is like a colorful oasis between the rocky hills.
Gruyères, Switzerland
A medieval but full of colors city that counts 800 years of history. Take the Chemin du Gruyère , that is between a chocolate factory and the legendary cheese making centre and live your myth there! The gastronomy of the region is unique. People who love culture and monuments will find a lot of things to visit; To begin with, in the relatively new Tibet Museum you will find over 300 Buddhist sculptures, pictures and ritual works from various Himalayan regions. The 13th century castle which is nowadays a famous museum is a living example of tradition, architecture and culture. Last but not least, the H. R. Giger museum, close to St. Germain castle, exhibits the talent of the Oscar - winner and "Alien" creator.
