Ann Abel contributor to Forbes asked some specific question like “What’s newly (or still) safe or newly uncovered? What’s hovering between charming sleepiness and overdeveloped soullessness? What must we see before it changes forever? What will transform us? to experts at several high-end travel companies. Who keep their ears on their clients’ interests and their eyes on the adventures they themselves have in every corner of the world.”

This super-agent named these coolest go to places in 2019 in alphabetical order:The Azores (Portugal), Eastern Bhutan, Cabo/Los Cabos (Mexico), Colombia, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Mongolia, Pakistan, Rwanda and The Turkish Riviera.

When it came specifically to Pakistan Ann Abel mentioned the suggestions of Sara Barbieri another specialist with GeoEx,
“Explore the valleys of Hunza, Shigar and Khaplu via the renowned Karakoram Highway.

This little-visited region in the far northeast of the country offers the kind of startlingly striking scenery that compels you to gaze from the window of your 4WD without blinking, for fear of missing a moment of the majesty of the landscape—or one of the astounding suspension bridges that cross the surging rivers filled with snow melt.

Add to this the warm welcome of the people, the glacial blue of Attabad lake, the centuries of history, the juxtaposition of granite to greenery, the chance to walk through an age old-apricot orchard along water channels cut by hand, and the blazing snow-covered glory of Rakiposhi, and you must acknowledge there is a grand adventure to be had,” she suggests.
