MOUNT KAILASH PILGRIMAGE, TIBET
Best For: Yogis and others seeking spiritual enlightenment
Distance: 32 miles
Legendary mountaineer Reinhold Messner was once awarded a permit to climb Kailash, considered sacred to five religions. According to Hindus, the perfect pyramid of the 22,028-foot peak is where the god Shiva sits in meditation. The mountain is also a holy place to Buddhists, Jains, the Ayyavazhi branch of Hinduism, and the ancient Bon religion of Tibet. Messner decided not to deconsecrate the summit, which has never been attained by human beings. When a Spanish team planned to climb it in 2001, Messner suggested that they go find a more difficult summit. It remains unclimbed, although in recent years the Chinese government has begun to build a road on the sacred pilgrimage path, known as the kora.
While the mountain itself is forbidden, traversing 32 miles around it is an important ritual. All this religious significance means that while Kailash is not a place for mountaineers, it does draw crowds of pilgrims seeking its powerful good grace. It’s also a first-class Himalaya trek encompassing meditation sites at waterfalls, the sacred cave of Zuthal Puk, and 18,600-foot Dolma La Pass.
When to Go: April through September. Numerous companies offer tours that deal with the logistics of getting into Tibet and driving to the base of Mount Kailash, which can be crowded with pilgrims.
Insider Tip: After you complete the kora, take a dip in nearby Lake Manasarovar. At 15,060 feet, it’s one of the highest lakes on the planet. According to Hindus, the waters purify bathers, and ablutions here complete the Kailash pilgrimage.

1999: the blair witch project
When this movie premiered in theaters, it was marketed more as an event than a film. No one had much of a clue what it was about, but reviews came in that reported people who saw advanced screenings were passing out in the aisles. If you can stand the shaky camera work (which is now very much a thing used to show that something is ~real~) then this found-footage pioneer is something you shouldn't miss.

If you watched The Emperor’s New Groove early in life, Kronk is likely the reason you are still single. Nobody could ever compare to this hunk IRL. He’s got the jawline, hair, and muscles of a god plus the kindness of a volunteer librarian. The only dude hotter than Kronk is Devil Kronk. He has obviously never missed a leg day.

In the geographical center of Andorra, the town of Encamp — home to nearly 12,000 people — makes for a good base no matter what time of year you choose to explore the country. Its downtown is also one of the prettiest, with the Valira d'Orient river running through it, and its fine old buildings now serve as shops, cafés, and restaurants.
It's also a great place from which to embark on hiking and biking adventures thanks to the neighboring Pic dels Pessons mountain, at 2,865 meters the parish's tallest peak. Come winter, the town is transformed into one of the country's most important ski centers with a gondola linking it directly to the slopes of Grau Roig and Pas de la Casa.
