What is caravanning and jailoo-tourism, where can you be a farmer for a week or a movie star for an hour and how can you fly to Mars for free. Skyscanner tells about adventures and unusual types of travels, very different from usual tourism.

Rural tourism brings us back to nature. There are roosters instead of an alarm clock, there is a cow instead of a coffee machine in the office, and there are fresh products from a garden instead of rubber vegetables from a supermarket. Some companies focus on specific regions, other companies organize adventures for every taste in every part of the world.

They will do anything: from “Take me to where there are no skyscrapers and cars, I will turn off my phone and look after the flowers” ​​to “I want to know how meat farms are organized in Australia.»

Jailoo tourism. “Jailoo” means “mountain pasture” in Kyrgyz. Jailoo-tourists travel to untouched nature to forget for a while about the advantages of civilization. You can start from the homeland of this type of tourism — Kyrgyzstan, but do not choose extreme routes if you have no experience hiking in the mountains. It is safer to find a local guide who will take you to the high mountain pastures between Issyk-Kul and Son-Kul lakes by the right path.

Jailoo-tourism can be combined with ethnic tourism – you can stay overnight in a shepherd’s yurt in the Mongolian steppe or settle in a reed hut in a small Indonesian village. A traveler “adopted by a family” lives the daily life of the indigenous population, follows local traditions and rituals and adopts skills, for example, grazing cattle, making pottery or making fire not from a lighter.

Festival tourism. People who love music practice another type of tourism — festival tourism. Moreover, you can visit several concerts at once in Europe during one vacation. Many festivals last three days, so there are campsites and parking lots for trailers near the stage. To some extent, festival tourism can also include trips to grand events like the Brazilian or Venetian carnivals of Oktoberfest or the Edinburgh festival Fringe.

Gastronomic tourism. There are many culinary courses and ethnic restaurants, but it is more interesting to get acquainted with recipes of national cuisines in their homeland. Of course, to get a recipe for the right pizza, you should go to the south of Italy and try to beg the owners of family restaurants to arrange a master class (although you can’t do it without basic Italian).

While traveling in France you should try different cheeses and wines. The «cheese» regions are considered to be the birthplace of Camembert Normandy and Burgundy, where Napoleon’s favorite cheese, epuas, was created.

Ecological tourism. People who like this type of tourism are spiritually enriched by communicating with nature in private. As a rule, a hotel in a national reserve serves as a hotel for ecotourists, and wild animals are their neighbors. The goal is to contemplate from a safe distance and not to harm. There is even an international community of ecological tourists who want to benefit the environment during their holidays.

However, ecotourism can be very extreme, for example, “shark tours», when you are immersed in a special cage in the sea, where predators want to eat you. There is an entertainment is not the faint of heart!
