Himalayas

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himalayas

Himalayas are very special to me as this was my first trip with my family and I might not remember everything as I was only 10 back then but I can feel the excitement I felt back then and the Joy this trip has given me.

Himalayas are a mountain range in Asia. The Himalayan range is home to the planets's highest peaks including the highest, Mount Everest.

My experience was breathtaking with all the views and the narrow road we had to travel on. We have taken the road from Haridwar to Badrinath, the road was so narrow that when you look down from your car window you could see the valley and water below you with no trace of the road, which was scary but mostly adventures for at least a 10 year old like me.

The way to Himalayas is closed during winter and the whole community will move from Himalayas to the nearest city or town and will migrate back in summer, hence the best and only time of visit would be during summer in Himalayas.

Mount Everest is the most popular tourist attraction in Himalayas well thank to it being the highest peak in the world.

For most Natives its the River Ganga that plays a key role as it is sacred to Hindus and Himalayas is the birth place of this divine and utterly beautiful river.

The island is known for its' white sand, vast beaches, small community, and picturesque location.  Hamilton Island is the only island in the Whitsunday group to have its own commercial airport allowing travellers - like you and me! - the opportunity to fly there and see the beauty for ourselves.

Some of the activities that I participated in at Hamilton Island included, playing Mini golf, bushwalking, beach hopping, playing tennis, golf, experiencing the water on a jetski, watching my family on quad bikes.... to name a few!  All of this happened via the main mode of transport in Hamilton Island... BUGGIES! Oh so much fun.

Hamilton Island offers something for everyone and that's why I believe it to be a worthy location for the perfect family holiday. Unlike some destinations that only provide activities for adults, or children, or cater to some interests but not others - Hamilton Island has it all.

Get yourselves to Hamilton Island - you won't regret it!
