You can catch a glimpse of these lights throughout the year, but the best time is from April to mid-October. There’s no fixed time for the lights, so you will have to plan a lengthy stay.

Ever wondered what Antarctica looks like? What it feels like? Guess, it’s time to find out.

Cruise ships offer a 6-24 day trip to Antarctica. And we recommend conducting research beforehand, so you select the ship with the best of amenities. Plus, this trip can cost you quite a lot (approximately $10000 per person). Hence, planning it right now may have you save on money. Do your research on a budget-friendly trip to Antarctica!

8. Australia

For those who seek a rich water adventure but on a budget, Australia is the right place for a visit in 2022. Here you can go snorkeling or Scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef. The coral reef covers about 2300 km and is rich with colors and sea creatures. If you ache for a thrill in life, then the Great White Shark sighting experience may appeal to you.

9. Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu is a historical place in Peru, which offers spectacular scenery and amazing architecture. There are two reasons you should begin planning your trip to Machu Picchu right away. One – you’ll need some practice for the environment. The high altitudes there may. Cause altitude sickness, ruining your trip.

So, you might want to get into a good hiking shape beforehand. Second – there are loads of restrictions and limits to preserve the wildlife and historical stuff. For example, Peru permits only 500 visitors daily. So, you would want to book your spots and slots beforehand.

10. African Safari

For the wildlife lovers out there, African Safari is a must. You’ll get to see animals that you could only otherwise see on National Geographic.

However, planning for landscapes as diverse as Africa demands detailed planning. Plan at least months ahead and place your bookings two weeks ahead. Most safari groups are small with limited spots.

Final Words

Planning saves you from panicking and signing for the wrong things at the eleventh hour. You may even make your trip much budget-friendly (with early bird discounts) than its original cost.

So, begin planning right away! You know, it seems we all stepped foot in January almost yesterday. And it’s May already! Time’s flying. Hurry up!
