It wasnt until ten thousand years ago that the state was cut off from the mainland of Australia due to rising sea levels at the end of the last glacial period. The history of the island dates back as far as 35,000 years ago and it has many historic ruins from when Europeans first started arriving on the island in the middle of the 1600s. The land geography of Tasmania is primarily rugged and there is not much commercial development except in the main city of Hobart which is the capital city and this is what makes Tasmania one of the interesting wild places to discover.

2. Serengeti, Tanzania   



The wild Serengeti found in Tanzania of Africa is regarded and one of the natural and wild travel destinations of the world. The destination has really earned the title too as there are many huge mammals found in the wild region. The area encompasses over 12,000 square miles of open plains, marshes, rivers and untamed lands. Some of the animals found in the outback of Tanzania are zebra, buffalos, wildebeests and over 65 more different species of large mammal. 80% of the Serengeti is protected under the authority of the government and are considered national parks. A unique land feature of the Serengeti is the small outcroppings of granite that puncture up through the ground as a result of volcanic activity. The Serengeti also holds an active volcano. Lately there has been a big controversy about the land regarding a traffic road being constructed through the precious lands, so it goes to show that these unspoiled lands will likely not be so in the future.

3. Nepal   



The country of Nepal may be one of the most popular destinations and especially for mountain climbers as it is the home of the Himalayas and to top that off the home of the great Mount Everest. Although everyone might not want to climb the giant mountain there are still many excellent trekking opportunities available with a perfect view of the monster mountain. The country is also home to many national parks and reserves to see as well with an abundance of unique wildlife to see. The lands remain largely untouched and the scenes within the countrys vast lands are like those out of a movie. The hilly and mainly mountainous lands make it difficult for development and that is what has primarily kept the wildernesses of the country largely intact. Even roads are hard to build in the country. If you are a mountaineer or just love being close to nature Nepal is one of the top places to spend some time.

4. Pantanal, Brazil   



Compared to the Amazon in many ways but the Pantanal in Brazil differs from the well-known Amazon with several of its own merits. Like the amazon the wildlife of the Pantanal , which is 10 times as big as the Everglades by the way, is some of the most unique in the world, the difference is that the animals of the Pantanal remain out in the open and primarily within view of travelers. Eco tourism is one of the main attractions of the region but there are very few roads all of which are dirt roads and footpaths are rare too. The primary modes of travel through the Pantanal are by FWD trucks and boats but the equestrian enthusiasts will be glad to know that going horseback through the wildernesses will bring you to places other forms of travel cannot. It is wise when exploring the region to be with a knowledgeable guide as making their home in the region are a variety of large predatory creatures such as anacondas and panthers.

9. Mongolia   



Mongolia was founded by the infamous Genghis Kahn in 1206 and has been ruled by various nomadic societies throughout the centuries. In present times the country is a parliamentary republic and the brunt of its population lives in the capital. With 45% of the populous residing in the capital city the lands throughout Mongolia are sparsely populated and very in touch with the natural side of the world.  Many of the small village inhabitants make their living from the soil and this is how they survive too. The country is strongly landlocked and this has prevented much of the land subduing to commercial development. Mongolia has been inhabited since the time of Homo Erectus and there is evidence of this in "White Cave”. The human history of the land dates back almost 800,000 years ago, some of the deepest human history in the world. The country of Mongolia is one of the few places on earth that everyone should go at least once in their lifetime.

10. Hindu Kush, Afghanistan   



Although Afghanistan is war-torn in present years it still has one of the greatest places to see in this list, although traveling to this location may not be the safest in this day and time. Hindu Kush is a part of the Himalayas and runs from the country of Afghanistan and into Pakistan. It is common belief in the scientific community that Hindu Kush is the spawning point of human population or otherwise referred to as the "Center of Population”. The surprising and semi disturbing nature of the name of the region is that Hindu Kush literally means "Kills the Hindu” and this name is a reflection of the history of the land as there were many Hindu slaves that lost their lives in the mountains due to the harsh weather and cold climate. The highest point of Hindu Kush is around 25,000 feet above sea level and the lands are quite amazing.
