Adventure Travel Holidays to See the Northern Lights

Adventure Travel Holidays to See the Northern Lights

The Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, is on e of the top attractions for adventure travel holidays. The Northern Lights topped the list of iconic sights that Brits say they would most like to experience in the coming year, followed by Machu Picchu. The rising popularity of the Aurora Borealis phenomenon has been helped by recent shows on the BBC such as 'Wonders of the Solar System' and Joanna Lumley's own Northern Lights experiences.

Nepal's mighty Himalaya mountains were also in the top five places for adventure travel. They are no longer the domain of only hardened mountaineers or hippy travelers, but have become more accessible to a wide variety of travelers thanks to an increase in flights to the region. The Adventure Company has seen a 60% increase in demand for holidays to the Himalayan Kingdom over the last four years alone.
