But things has changed recently as many commercial travel companies had come out various type of adventure holidays packages for students to visit these wilderness places from deep in the jungles to high altitude of mountains. Huge number of travel programs in the TV and videos with large numbers of articles and books had delivered many detail information of these beautiful places.

But you may not always be prepared either physical or mentally for the environment you find yourself in. Unlike olden days where travel are slower, but it gave one time to adjust to new environments and acclimatize to the heat, cold and altitude.
