World Walks

This section is dedicated to a selection of some lovely non-European walks throughout the world. Here you will find walks shared by myself and other contributors who wish to share their remarkable adventures with you. The range is extremely varied, from easy walks with children to treks in the Himalayas. I hope you enjoy this section, and hopefully it may just inspire you to follow one of the walks featured.

The Walks Description
Dragon's Back Trail — Hong Kong Island The Dragon's Back Trail has been named the best urban hike in Asia by TIME magazine, revealing the wonderful trekking opportunities in Hong Kong.
Ella Rock, Sri Lanka A walk in Sri Lanka through tea plantations and dense forest paths to Ella Rock, the highest peak in the area with great panoramic views.
Malana, Himachal Pradesh, India A walk in India to the remote world of the Pin Parvati valley. It is so unique, just like entering a lost world. Do not expect western attitudes here.
Kawah Ijen, Eastern Java, Indonesia A walk to Kawah Ijen, a volcano that sits at its highest point at 2,799m, which is just short of 10,000ft. Prepare for acrid smells of sulphur!
